Since 4806f2f6b0, we can't have paths with
references passed to builtins.{path,filterSource}. This prevents many cases
of those functions called on IFD outputs from working. Resolve this by
passing the references found in the original path to the added path.
- This way we improve error messages
on infinite recursion
- Demo:
```nix
let x = builtins.fetchTree x;
in x
```
- Before:
```bash
$ nix-instantiate --extra-experimental-features flakes --strict
error: infinite recursion encountered
```
- After:
```bash
$ nix-instantiate --extra-experimental-features flakes --strict
error: infinite recursion encountered
at /data/github/kamadorueda/nix/test.nix:1:9:
1| let x = builtins.fetchTree x;
| ^
2| in x
```

The min bound written corresponds to the date of the commit that
introduced the change, but it only got merged on master some weeks
later. Since the version is essentially the commit date, that means that
there’s a whole range of commits on master (including the current
`nixUnstable`) that have a higher version but don’t contain the required
change.
This reverts some parts of commit
8430a8f086 which was trying to rethrow
some exceptions while we weren’t in the context of a `catch` block,
causing some weird “terminate called without an active exception”
errors.
Fix#5368
Noticed this minor logging deficiency when debugged --disable-shared
build:
LD
AR
LD
CXX src/libstore/local-store.o
After the change build is logged as expected:
LD src/libmain/libnixmain.a
LD src/libfetchers/libnixfetchers.a
AR src/libmain/libnixmain.a
CXX src/libstore/local-store.o
In https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5350 we noticed link failures
pkgsStatic.nixUnstable. Adding explicit dependency on libutil fixes
libstore-tests linking.
When I stop a download with Ctrl-C in a `nix repl` of a flake, the REPL
refuses to do any other downloads:
nix-repl> builtins.getFlake "nix-serve"
[0.0 MiB DL] downloading 'https://api.github.com/repos/edolstra/nix-serve/tarball/e9828a9e01a14297d15ca41 error: download of 'e9828a9e01' was interrupted
[0.0 MiB DL]
nix-repl> builtins.getFlake "nix-serve"
error: interrupted by the user
[0.0 MiB DL]
To fix this issue, two changes were necessary:
* Reset the global `_isInterrupted` variable: only because a single
operation was aborted, it should still be possible to continue the
session.
* Recreate a `fileTransfer`-instance if the current one was shut down by
an abort.
