generators are a better basis for serializers than streaming into sinks
as we do currently for many reasons, such as being usable as sources if
one wishes to (without requiring an intermediate sink to serialize full
data sets into memory, or boost coroutines to turn sinks into sources),
composing more naturally (as one can just yield a sub-generator instead
of being forced to wrap entire substreams into clunky functions or even
more clunky custom types to implement operator<< on), allowing wrappers
to transform data with clear ownership semantics (removing the need for
explicit memory allocations and Source wrappers), and many other things
Change-Id: I361d89ff556354f6930d9204f55117565f2f7f20
the `*Source` name is a slight misnomer since we do also have a
Source type, but we can probably live with this for time being.

not used anywhere yet, but we'll use this a lot soon for generators that
return file contents, wire protocol fragments, or indeed any byte stream

this will be the basis of non-boost coroutines in lix. anything that is
a boost coroutine *should* be representable with a Generator coroutine,
and many things that are not currently boost coroutines but behave much
like one (such as, notably, serializers) should be as well. this allows
us to greatly simplify many things that look like iteration but aren't.

not printing activities at all when no progress information is available
hides *all* progress information from e.g. flake show. this is not ideal
and needs to be fixed, but the fix *still* has problems with flake show:
in multiline mode we will overwrite all useful flake show output as soon
as the progress bar is redrawn. flake show output is also mangled in any
number of other situations (like -v being set), so we should probably be
not too worried about it and fix progress reporting properly another day
Change-Id: I6d39d670e261bbae00560b6a8e15dec8e16b35c4
Previously, the progress bar had two subtly different states in which the bar
would not actually render, both with their own shortcomings: inactive (which
was irreversible) and paused (reversible, but swallowing logs). Furthermore,
there was no way of resetting the statistics, so a very bad solution was
implemented (243c0f18da) that would create a new
logger for each line of the repl, leaking the previous one and discarding the
value of printBuildLogs. Finally, if stderr was not attached to a TTY, the
update thread was started even though the logger was not active, violating the
invariant required by the destructor (which is not observed because the logger
is leaked).
In this commit, the two aforementioned states are unified into a single one,
which can be exited again, correctly upholds the invariant that the update
thread is only running while the progress bar is active, and does not swallow
logs. The latter change in behavior is not expected to be a problems in the
rare cases where the paused state was used before, since other loggers (like
the simple one) don't exhibit it anyway. The startProgressBar/stopProgressBar
API is removed due to being a footgun, and a new method for properly resetting
the progress is added.

we do not have any of these warnings appearing at the moment, but it
seems like a good idea to enable [[nodiscard]] checking anyway. once
we start introducing more functions with must-use conditions we will
need such checking, and the rust stdlib has proven them very useful.

The `allow-flake-configuration` option allows the user to control whether to
accept configuration options supplied by flakes. Unfortunately, setting this
to false really meant "ask each time" (with an option to remember the choice
for each specific option encountered). Let no mean no, and introduce (and
default to) a separate value for the "ask each time" behaviour.

We previously allowed you to map any flake URL to any other flake URL,
including shorthand flakerefs, indirect flake URLs like `flake:nixpkgs`,
direct flake URLs like `github:NixOS/nixpkgs`, or local paths.
But flake registry entries mapping from direct flake URLs often come
from swapping the 'from' and 'to' arguments by accident, and even when
created intentionally, they may not actually work correctly.
This patch rejects those URLs (and fully-qualified flake: URLs), making
it harder to swap the arguments by accident.
Fixes#181.

This is a shameless layering violation in favour of UX. It falls back
trivially to "unknown", so it's purely a UX feature.

this most notably affects `nix eval`: if there is no progress bar to be
shown and no activities going on we should not print anything at all. a
progress bar with no activities would print a bunch of terminal escapes
*and a space*, which is not helpful in simple cases like nix eval -E 1.
notably this does *not* affect nix eval called on non-terminal outputs,
but it is slightly confusing nevertheless (and not difficult to avoid).

this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.
this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.
test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:
- 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
- 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
- equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
(excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)
more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

This reverts commit 35eec921af.
Reason for revert: Regressed nix-eval-jobs, and it appears to be this change is buggy/missing a case. It just needs another pass.
Code causing the problem in n-e-j, when invoked with `nix-eval-jobs --flake '.#hydraJobs'`:
```
n-e-j/tests/assets » ../../build/src/nix-eval-jobs --meta --workers 1 --flake .#hydraJobs
warning: unknown setting 'trusted-users'
warning: `--gc-roots-dir' not specified
error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir'
error: worker error: error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir'
```
```
nix::Value *vRoot = [&]() {
if (args.flake) {
auto [flakeRef, fragment, outputSpec] =
nix::parseFlakeRefWithFragmentAndExtendedOutputsSpec(
args.releaseExpr, nix::absPath("."));
nix::InstallableFlake flake{
{}, state, std::move(flakeRef), fragment, outputSpec,
{}, {}, args.lockFlags};
return flake.toValue(*state).first;
} else {
return releaseExprTopLevelValue(*state, autoArgs, args);
}
}();
```
Inspecting the program behaviour reveals that `dir` was in fact set in the URL going into the fetcher. This is in turn because unlike in the case changed in this commit, it was not erased before handing it to libfetchers, which is probably just a mistake.

On operating systems where /bin/sh is not Bash, some scripts are invalid
because of bashisms, and building Lix fails with errors like this:
`render-manpage.sh: 3: set: Illegal option -o pipefail`
This modifies all scripts that use a `/bin/sh` shebang to `/usr/bin/env
bash`, including currently POSIX-compliant ones, to prevent any future
confusion.

I was working on nix-eval-jobs with a dev shell with some shenanigans to

this was only used in one place, and that place has been rewritten to
use a temporary file instead. keeping this around is not very helpful
at this time, and in any case we'd be better off rewriting subprocess
handling in rust where we not only have a much safer library for such
things but also async frameworks necessary for this easily available.

we want to remove runProgram's ability to provide stdin to a process
because the concurrency issues of handling both stdin and stdout are
much more pronounced once runProgram returns not is collected output
but a source. this is possible in the current c++ framework, however
it isn't necessary in almost all cases (as demonstrated by only this
single user existing) and in much better handled with a proper async
concurrency model that lets the caller handle both at the same time.
