Use `$(libdir)` while installing .pc files looks like a more generic
solution. For example, it will work for distributions like RHEL or
Fedora where .pc files are installed in `/usr/lib64/pkgconfig`.
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.
It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.
In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.
Make nix output completions in the form `completion\tdescription`.
This can't be used by bash (afaik), but other shells like zsh or fish
can display it along the completion choices
When running `nix build -L` it can be fairly hard to read the output if
the build program intentionally renders whitespace on the left. A
typical example is `g++` displaying compilation errors.
With this patch, the whitespace on the left is retained to make the log
more readable:
```
foo> no configure script, doing nothing
foo> building
foo> foobar.cc: In function 'int main()':
foo> foobar.cc:5:5: error: 'wrong_func' was not declared in this scope
foo> 5 | wrong_func(1);
foo> | ^~~~~~~~~~
error: --- Error ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nix
error: --- Error --- nix-daemon
builder for '/nix/store/i1q76cw6cyh91raaqg5p5isd1l2x6rx2-foo-1.0.drv' failed with exit code 1
```
When having a message like `waiting for a machine to build X` and
building with `nix build -L`, the log-prefix is always colored yellow[1]
on a small terminal-width as everything (including the ANSI color-reset) is
stripped away.
To work around that problem, this patch explicitly adds an `ANSI_NORMAL`
to the end of the line.

Needed so that we can include it as a logger in loggers.cc without
adding a dependency on nix
This also requires moving names.hh to libutil to prevent a circular
dependency between libmain and libexpr
