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.

this is only used in one place, and only to set a nicer error message on
EndOfFile. the only caller that actually *catches* this exception should
provide an error message in that catch block rather than forcing support
for setting error message so deep into the stack. copyStorePath is never
called outside of PathSubstitutionGoal anyway, which catches everything.

The original idea was to fix lix#174, but for a user friendly solution,
I figured that we'd need more consistency:
* Invalid query params will cause an error, just like invalid
attributes. This has the following two consequences:
* The `?dir=`-param from flakes will be removed before the URL to be
fetched is passed to libfetchers.
* The tarball fetcher doesn't allow URLs with custom query params
anymore. I think this was questionable anyways given that an
arbitrary set of query params was silently removed from the URL you
wanted to fetch. The correct way is to use an attribute-set
with a key `url` that contains the tarball URL to fetch.
* Same for the git & mercurial fetchers: in that case it doesn't even
matter though: both fetchers added unused query params to the URL
that's passed from the input scheme to the fetcher (`url2` in the code).
It turns out that this was never used since the query parameters were
erased again in `getActualUrl`.
* Validation happens for both attributes and URLs. Previously, a lot of
fetchers validated e.g. refs/revs only when specified in a URL and
the validity of attribute names only in `inputFromAttrs`.
Now, all the validation is done in `inputFromAttrs` and `inputFromURL`
constructs attributes that will be passed to `inputFromAttrs`.
* Accept all attributes as URL query parameters. That also includes
lesser used ones such as `narHash`.
And "output" attributes like `lastModified`: these could be declared
already when declaring inputs as attribute rather than URL. Now the
behavior is at least consistent.
Personally, I think we should differentiate in the future between
"fetched input" (basically the attr-set that ends up in the lock-file)
and "unfetched input" earlier: both inputFrom{Attrs,URL} entrypoints
are probably OK for unfetched inputs, but for locked/fetched inputs
a custom entrypoint should be used. Then, the current entrypoints
wouldn't have to allow these attributes anymore.

Unfetched submodules are included as empty directories in archives, so they end
up as such in the store when fetched in clean mode. Make sure the same happens
in dirty mode too. Fortunately, they are already correctly represented in the
ls-files output, so we just need to make sure to include the empty directory in
our filter.

Followup to https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1417 to ensure that this
parser will never take something that doesn't look like a version.
It turns out this problem is less alarming than initially thought
because it only applies to the testsuite in a non-default mode.

Since ad8a4b380e, the version printer returns "nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.x",
hence the `daemonVersion` was being set to the string "like".
Using `compareVersions` with a letter compares them lexicographically:
builtins.compareVersions "like" "2.12pre20230103" // => -1
builtins.compareVersions "like" "2.16.0" // => -1
This caused that `isDaemonNewer` always returned 1, falsy in Bash terms.
Therefore, the test suite skipped those tests where they use it.

Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.
The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.
Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

Some tests were failing on darwin,
if the auto-allocate-uids featrure was enabled.
This was because AAU on darwin works by setuid-ing as a non-existent
user, so the tests that were relying on `whoami` were failing.
In the case of trusted-users we fall back to printing the user id,
which is already handled gracefully in the daemon code - i.e. when
a user does not exist or for some other reason looking up their
username is not possible, the daemon falls back to searching for their
uid inside the trusted-users list.
When whoami is used to print the username for other purpose,
we default to printing nixbld.

This reverts commit a8b3d777fb.
This undoes the revert of PR#6621, which allows nested `follows`, i.e.
{
inputs = {
foo.url = "github:bar/foo";
foo.inputs.bar.inputs.nixpkgs = "nixpkgs";
};
}
does the expected thing now. This is useful to avoid the 1000 instances
of nixpkgs problem without having each flake in the dependency tree to
expose all of its transitive dependencies for modification.
This was in fact part of Nix before and the C++ changes applied w/o
conflicts. However, it got reverted then because people didn't want to
merge lazy-trees against it which was supposed to be merged soon back in
October 2022.

Part of #7672
My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This
doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config`
if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think
this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands
exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename
here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3].
I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`,
the warning is added there automatically.

[1] https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-nix.checkConfig
[2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix
because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit
better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make
sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't
want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I
can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a
quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother
in the first place :)
[3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in
nixpkgs itself for Lix.

Previously, the garbage collector found runtime roots on Darwin by
shelling out to `lsof -n -w -F n` then parsing the result.
However, this requires an lsof binary and can be extremely slow.
The official Apple lsof returns in a reasonable amount of time,
about 250ms in my tests, but the lsof packaged in nixpkgs is quite slow,
taking about 40 seconds to run the command.
Using libproc directly is about the same speed as Apple lsof,
and allows us to reënable several tests that were disabled on Darwin.

Previously, errors while printing values in `nix repl` would be printed
in `«error: ...»` brackets rather than displayed normally:

Adds a `repl-overlays` option, which specifies files that can overlay

then attrs
else {};
in
optionalAttrs (prev ? legacyPackages && prev.legacyPackages ? ${info.currentSystem})
{
pkgs = prev.legacyPackages.${info.currentSystem};
