*accidentally* overriding a function is almost guaranteed to be an
error. overriding a function without labeling it as such is merely
bad style, but bad style that makes the code harder to understand.

Commit 0109368c3f missed to include a required
header, which is not noticed when the precompiled header is enabled because
it's included in that. Also include it in the file so that the build without
precompiled header works too.

Due to a leftover from a previous version where the buffer was allocated on the
stack, the change introduced in commit 4ec87742a1
accidentally passes the size of a pointer as the size of the buffer to the
decompressor. Since the former is much smaller (usually 8 bytes instead of 64
kilobytes), this is safe, but leads to considerable overhead; most notably, due
to excessive progress reports, which happen for each chunk. Pass the proper
buffer size instead.

This commit adds a new helper template function to gc-alloc.hh (which is
probably where you want to look at first, O great reviewer [custom file
ordering in review diffs when]), which uses a type argument to determine
the size to allocate, rather than making the caller use sizeof().

The purpose of this function has little to do with immutability. Value's
strings are never mutated, and the point of this function is to
singleton empty strings.

SimpleLogger is not fully thread-safe, and all loggers that wrap it are
also not safe accordingly. this does not affect much, but in rare cases
it can cause interleaving of messages on stderr when used with the json
or raw log formats. the fix applied here is a bit of a hack, but fixing
this properly requires rearchitecting the logger infrastructure. nested
loggers are not the most natural abstraction here, and it is biting us.

This removes a *whole load* of variables from scope and enforces thread
boundaries with the type system.
There is not much change of significance in here, so the things to watch
out for while reviewing it are primarily that the destructor ordering
may have changed inadvertently, I think.

When the configured maximum depth has been reached, attribute sets and lists
are printed with ellipsis to indicate the elision of nested items. Previously,
this happened even in case the structure being printed is empty, so that such
items do not in fact exist. This is confusing, so stop doing it.

The repeated value detection logic exists so that the occurrence of large
common substructures does not fill up the screen or the computer's memory.
However, empty attribute sets and derivations (when their detection is enabled)
are always cheap to print, and in practice I have observed them to make up a
significant majority of the cases where I was annoyed by the repeated value
detection kicking in. Furthermore, `nix-instantiate --eval` already disables
this logic for empty attribute sets, and empty lists are already exempted
everywhere. For these reasons, always print empty attribute sets and
derivations as what they are.

When pretty-printing is enabled, previously an unforced thunk would trigger
indentation, even when it subsequently does not evaluate to a nested structure.
The resulting output looked inconsistent, and furthermore pretty-printing was
not idempotent (since pretty-printing the same value again, which is now fully
evaluated, will not trigger indentation).
When strict evaluation is enabled, force the item before inspecting its type,
so that it is properly known whether it contains a nested structure.
Furthermore, there is no need to cause indentation for unforced thunks, since
the very next operation will be printing them as `«thunk»`.
This is mostly a port of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11100 , but we only
force the item when it's going to be forced anyway due to strict
pretty-printing, and a new test was written since the REPL testing framework in
Lix is different.

this is cursed. deeply and profoundly cursed. under NO CIRCUMSTANCES
must protocol serializer helpers be applied to temporaries! doing so
will inevitably cause dangling references and cause the entire thing
to crash. we need to do this even so to get rid of boost coroutines,
and likewise to encapsulate the serializers we suffer today at least
a little bit to allow a gradual migration to an actual IPC protocol.
(this isn't a problem that's unique to generators. c++ coroutines in
general cannot safely take references to arbitrary temporaries since
c++ does not have a lifetime system that can make this safe. -sigh-)

this is not completely necessary at this point because the parser right
now already returns a generator to pass through all input data it read,
but the nar parser *was* very lax and would accept nars that weren't in
canonical form (defined as the form dumpPath would return). nar hashing
depends on these things, and as such rewriting the parser now allows us
to reject non-canonical nars that extract to the same store contents as
their canonical counterpart but have different nar hashes despite that.

This was filed as https://github.com/nixos/nix/issues/7584, but as far
as I can tell, the previous solution of POLLHUP works just fine on macOS
14. I've also tested on an ancient machine with macOS 10.15.7, which
also has POLLHUP work correctly.
It's possible this might regress some older versions of macOS that have
a kernel bug, but I went looking through the history on the sources and
didn't find anything that looked terribly convincingly like a bug fix
between 2020 and today. If such a broken version exists, it seems pretty
reasonable to suggest simply updating the OS.

This is caused by pthread_cancel effectively throwing a
not-specifically-identifiable C++ exception into the targeted thread,
which, if it is not rethrown, terminates the process entirely.
This is rather "impolite" behaviour, we would say. But thread
cancellation is *always* busted, and we should simply not use it where
unnecessary. It's particularly unnecessary when what we *actually* need
it for is, err, interrupting a poll(2).
That can in turn be achieved by simply listening to more stuff in the
poll, namely, a pipe, which we send a character to when needing to
stop the thread.
While looking at this code, we also investigated whether any of the
poll() madness is required, or was even *ever* required. Curiously we
found in the XNU kernel source code that the thing about needing to
listen to POLLHUP is probably *correct*, but switching it to POLLRDNORM
should not have made any difference at all. We've left a FIXME to look
into that further because what's written here is super janky.

This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language
into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the
consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype.
It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when
passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a
checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope
for the immediate change.
During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the
language:
- You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values.
- You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers
into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake
inputs.
The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly
since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because
it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some
other way.
Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very
first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with
-fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in
production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow
was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it
did.
Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice
that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of
months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and
it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy
(and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as
lix-project/lix#445, we don't think
anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow.
Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make
sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic
overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind
of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package
management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in
scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for
the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they
would, or by being arbitrary-precision.
This change will be ported to CppNix as well, to maintain language
consistency.

The actual motive here is the avoidance of integer overflow if we were
to make these use checked NixInts and retain the subtraction.
However, the actual *intent* of this code is a three-way comparison,
which can be done with operator<=>, so we should just do *that* instead.

this will let us turn copyNAR into a generator as well, which in turn is
necessary to turn the users of copyNAR into generators without resorting
to sinkToSource coroutines. currently this uses the SerializingTransform
in all cases, even for copyNAR where it is not necessary. should this be
a performance problem we can easily swap out the transform for one which
does not produce any bytes of its own, but that should not be necessary.

the rewriting sink was just broken. when given a rewrite set that
contained a key that is also a proper infix of another key it was
possible to produce an incorrectly rewritten result if the writer
used the wrong block size. fixing this duplicates rewriteStrings,
to avoid this we'll rewrite rewriteStrings to use RewritingSource
in a new mode that'll allow rewrites we had previously forbidden.
