Attribute names containing special characters like @ or . need to be
quoted, so we need to do our own tokenization of the command line for
completion, and quote the attribute names when we provide the completion.

This commit makes Lix include the summarized content of the value being
indexed when it is bad.
lix/lix2 » nix eval --expr '{x.y = 2;}' 'x.y.z'
error: the value being indexed in the selection path 'x.y.z' at 'x.y' should be a set but is an integer: 2
lix/lix2 » nix eval --expr '{x.y = { a = 3; };}' 'x.y.z'
error: attribute 'z' in selection path 'x.y.z' not found inside path 'x.y', whose contents are: { a = 3; }
Did you mean a?
lix/lix2 » nix eval --expr '{x.y = { a = 3; };}' 'x.y.1'
error: the expression selected by the selection path 'x.y.1' should be a list but is a set: { a = 3; }

It being overridable was an intended feature with good use cases, and
should not have been removed. However, this feature is generally in a
bad state and needs revisiting in the future.

Calls to `show` have been removed. To counter the loss of information,
the error positions have been improved and now correctly point to the
current selector instead of the entire select expression.

The `show` functionality needs to be removed because it is deeply
flawed, and given that we already print position information in the
error message (which probably wasn't always the case in the past) the
assertion printing is redundant anyways.

only generate-manpage.nix uses it any more, so we can inline it there
instead of keeping it around as a separate generated header. doing so
will also allow us to remove caching functions needed *only for this*

It was never intended to be a feature to be used, and moreover it is
inconsistent: One cannot override `+`, and overriding `__lessThan` won't
affect the builtins which do comparisons.

clangd broke because it can't look through symlinks. compile_commands
manipulation does not fix it, clangd configuration does not fix it, a
vfs overlay does not fix it, and while a combination of those can fix
it with a bind mount in place that's just too cursed to even consider

Ever read gdb output and you just kinda get a headache because you have

we could also just never have to do that again, which is also not hard.

Context: we have include paths that are "types.hh" and similarly common
names. We currently have these compatibly available as
"lix/libutil/types.hh" externally but *not yet internally*. This is
because we don't have any way for the src directory to appear as
`"lix/"` from inside of Lix: the lix/ include directory is created by
the install process.
The goal of this whole thing is to make it clearer which component of
Lix that files are a part of, which should hopefully help at least a
little bit to new developers. One disadvantage of un-mixing these is
that it will cause some API changes if we ever move a file between
libraries, but that is not very common, and we don't care that much
about external API users.
This was planned for a while and is why we have a FixIncludes check to
begin with.
Personally I don't see a great benefit in rearranging our source code,
and in fact, it would probably be counterproductive:
- Moving the includes into a separate `include/` directory would just
make developers have to deal with more directories, when we can
already generate the desired layout through the build process.
- This would also decouple the .cc and .hh files which currently
conventionally have each others' definitions and declarations
respectively, right next to each other, making it easier for them to
feel decoupled and diverge.
Content: Add ../include as an include directory so that lix/ in include
paths will resolve to src/ within Lix itself, just as it does externally
today. This prepares for a further series of commits applying the actual
change to each library one-by-one by accepting both include versions at
once.
This could have been done with ../ and a symlink called lix, but we
would like to not accept libexpr/foo.hh internally for it would be
broken externally, so we need an otherwise empty directory for the
include.

Most builtins are now generated from data too, with two exceptions:
* Undocumented builtins, since supporting them would add complexity to the
generator, the harms of the current implementation mostly don't apply, and
the proper fix is to document them.
* `derivation` is somewhat magic (it is a function, but defined in the code as
a constant), so the current treatment of having it separately documented is
kept (for now, at least).
Since it is slightly easier to do and probably a good idea anyway, the builtin
function registrations generated this way are now processed directly in code
and don't go through global variables any more.
Unfortunately, a slight breaking change is introduced because the order of the
builtins' names in the symbol table changes. Hopefully, this will turn out to
not matter in practice.

Currently, a bunch of documentation is generated by embedding parts of it in
the nix executable, getting it out again by running it, and then postprocessing
the output. This is bad, since it creates a pointless dependency of the
documentation on the executable, and also makes documentation generation
impossible when cross-compiling.
Instead, both the code and the documentation should be generated from data, see
#292 . Here we start applying
this approach to the experimental and deprecated features, which are done in
one go since the technical implementation is very similar.
Of course, the actual benefits are not realised yet, since the offending
pattern is used in several more places. These will be fixed later.

So I recently saw it the first time in the wild, I liked that you get
interactively asked about the nix.conf settings from the flake, but
there were a few minor things that I'd like to see changed:
* The `(y/N)` was somewhere in the middle of the line. Moved it to
the end. At first I assumed it was a bug because another thread into
my terminal while I was answering the question.
* I had to say no four times for a single flake with two options. So if
you already know you don't want any of the config for _this_ flake, I
found a `No to all` switch that ignores the rest of the nix.conf
settings a little more ergonomic than having to stop the invocation,
looking up the exact wording of `--no-accept-flake-config` and
restarting it. Hence, I added it.
* Added a note where the choices which settings to trust are persisted.
My initial assumption was that this went into `nix.conf` which is not
writable on NixOS, so I said no there as well.

This adds a new temp-dir setting for controlling the temporary directory
without having to change the TMPDIR env var. This can be used to e.g.
use a path on a case-sensitive store on macOS for temporary files
without changing the TMPDIR var used by interactive shells or commands
invoked with `nix run`.
This also stops unsetting `TMPDIR` on darwin when the env var value
starts with `/var/folders/`, preferring instead to just do the check
when reading `TMPDIR`. This way the inherited `TMPDIR` env var is
preserved for child processes (such as interactive shells).
As a side effect this changes the behavior of `nix-build -o ''` to act
like `nix-build --no-out-link` instead of failing with an error caused
by trying to create a symlink at the cwd.

This reverts commit 02c35ea9df.
Reason for revert: this code path is also used for `Input::getRev()`, i.e. flakes VCS revision validation, which, in the case of Git, are using SHA1.
As a result, this cause too much noise due to SHA1 revisions in Flakes.

random() is not thread-safe, it relies on global state, and calling it
from worker threads can result in multiple threads producing the same
value. It also doesn't guarantee unique values even in single-threaded
use.
Use an atomic counter for the use-case of generating temporary paths,
and switch to a thread-local RNG for the one remaining call.
This will probably fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7273 though
I'm not willing to risk corrupting my store to find out.

Also tweak `pathAccessible` to ignore other relevant errors too. It was
documented as ignoring permission errors but it was only ignoring
`EPERM`, which comes from the darwin sandbox, and not ignoring `EACCESS`
which is the real permission error. I figured it also makes sense to
ignore `ELOOP`.

Sets the `X-GitHub-Api-Version` header to `2022-11-28` for calls to the
GitHub API.
This follows the later version as per
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/about-the-rest-api/api-versions?apiVersion=2022-11-28.
This affected the check on whether to use the API versus unauthenticated
calls as well, given the headers would no longer be empty if the
authentication token were missing.
The workaround used here is to use a check similar to an existing
check for the token.
In the current implementation, headers are (still) similarly sent to
non-authenticated as well as GitHub on-prem calls.
For what it's worth, manual curl calls with such a header seemed to
break nor unauthenticated calls nor ones to the github.com API.

replacing it with a random command suffices.

Since fb38459d6e, each `ref` is appended
with `refs/heads` unless it starts with `refs/` already. This regressed
two use-cases that worked fine before:
* Specifying a commit hash as `ref`: now, if `ref` looks like a commit
hash it will be directly passed to `git fetch`.
* Specifying a tag without `refs/tags` as prefix: now, the fetcher prepends
`refs/*` to a ref that doesn't start with `refs/` and doesn't look
like a commit hash. That way, both a branch and a tag specified in
`ref` can be fetched.
The order of preference in git is
* file in `refs/` (e.g. `HEAD`)
* file in `refs/tags/`
* file in `refs/heads` (i.e. a branch)
After fetching `refs/*`, ref is resolved the same way as git does.
