This is motivated by flakes being bad and all the stuff that calls
things by "system" being utterly unable to cope with cross compilation.
So if we go shove it in package.nix it is suddenly usable from cross
contexts.
Usage:
```
nix build -L .#nix-riscv64-linux.binaryTarball
```

It builds. I have not tested the binaries since I don't have hardware,
but I would be rather surprised if it were broken, given that nix *runs*
on this platform.
Change-Id: I0b474ffcd4a431bf117a303d0b65fa6532113f48
There were two bugs I found:
1. If the build isn't already done in the store, nix-store --realise
does not know how to build it. You have to just give it the
derivation and I guess it will realise all outputs, which is fine.
2. cp without -T will not overwrite an existing manual directory,
creating a path manual/manual.

This seems to have been caused by having the wrong PID. I don't know why
it worked before in the sandbox, but the code was definitely wrong
before, so let's just fix it.

This was originally going to be just the testsuite but I kinda just
documented all of them.
I am tired of us not documenting these. This is a starting point to
producing an actually good index. I would like to enforce it in a
pre-commit hook eventually that we document all environment variables
used in Lix itself, even if it is terse dev facing docs.
This is full of a bunch of TODOs caused by auditing code. They should
probably be done at some point.

It's in the security section, and it was totally outdated anyway.
I took the opportunity to write down the stuff we already believed.

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.

We should not let these regress in CI by having broken dependencies or
similar. Still need to fix the evaluation error checking in
buildbot-nix, but this is a useful step regardless.

-- message from cl/1418 --
The boehmgc changes are bundled into this commit because doing otherwise
would require an annoying dance of "adding compatibility for < 8.2.6 and
>= 8.2.6" then updating the pin then removing the (now unneeded)
compatibility. It doesn't seem worth the trouble to me given the low
complexity of said changes.
Rebased coroutine-sp-fallback.diff patch taken from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317227
-- jade resubmit changes --
This is a resubmission of https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1418, which
was reverted in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1432 for breaking CI
evaluation without being detected.
I have run `nix flake check -Lv` on this one before submission and it
passes on my machine and crucially without eval errors, so the CI result
should be accurate.
It seems like someone renamed forbiddenDependenciesRegex to
forbiddenDependenciesRegexes in nixpkgs and also changed the type
incompatibly. That's pretty silly, but at least it's just an eval error.
Also, `xonsh` regressed the availability of `xonsh-unwrapped`, but it
was fixed by us in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317636, which
is now in our channel, so we update nixpkgs compared to the original
iteration of this to simply get that.
We originally had a regression related to some reorganization of the
nixpkgs lib test suite in which there was broken parameter passing.
This, too, we got quickfixed in nixpkgs, so we don't need any changes
for it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317772

The libcmd unit test creates files (more specifically, the fetcher cache) in
its home directory. In the single-user sandbox, this leads to the creation of
/homeless-shelter, since this is the default HOME and the root is writable.
Unfortunately, this conflicts with the assumption of the functional tests that
this directory does not exist. Use a different home directory to prevent these
test failures, and thus restore the ability to build inside the single-user
sandbox.

* changes:
releng: add prod environment, ready for release
releng: automatically figure out if we should tag latest for docker
releng: support multiarch docker images
manual: rewrite the docker guide now that we have images
Rewrite docker to be sensible and smaller
Implement docker upload in the releng tools
I am *reasonably* confident that this releng infrastructure can actually
build a Lix 2.90 and release it successfully. Let's make it possible to
do, and add some cute colours to the confirmation message.
Change-Id: I85e498b6fb49ffc5e75c0a72c5e45fb1f69030d3
For example, when releasing from release-2.90, if `main` has a 2.91 tag
ancestor, we know that 2.91 was released, so we should *not* tag latest.

If we don't want to have separate registry tags by architecture (EWWWW),
we need to be able to build multiarch docker images. This is pretty
simple, and just requires making a manifest pointing to each of the
component images.
I was *going* to just do this API prodding with manifest-tool, but it
doesn't support putting metadata on the outer manifest, which is
actually kind of a problem because it then doesn't render the metadata
on github. So I guess we get a simple little containers API
implementation that is 90% auth code.

I have checked the image can build things and inspected `diff -ru`
compared to the old image. As far as I can tell it is more or less
the same besides the later git change.
Layers are now 65MB or less, and we aren't against the maxLayers limit
for the broken automatic layering to do anything but shove one store
path in a layer (which is good behaviour, actually).
This uses nix2container which streams images, so the build time is much
shorter.
I have also taken the opportunity to, in addition to fixing the 400MB
single layer (terrible, and what motivated this in the first place),
delete about 200MB of closure size inflicted by git vs gitMinimal
causing both perl and python to get into closure.
People mostly use this thing for CI, so I don't really think you need
advanced git operations, and large git can be added at the user side if
really motivated.
With love for whichever container developer somewhat ironically assumed
that one would not run skopeo in a minimal container that doesn't have a
/var/tmp.

This uses skopeo to not think about docker daemons. I, however, noticed
that the docker image we had would have totally terrible cache hits, so
I rewrote it.

4b128008c5d9fde881ce1b0a25e60ae0415a14d5 in nixpkgs introduced a default
hashedPasswordFile for root in NixOS tests, which takes precedence over
the password option set in the nix-copy test.

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.

This can release x86_64-linux binaries to staging, with ephemeral keys.
I think it's good enough to review at least at this point, so we don't
keep adding more stuff to it to make it harder to review.

We realized that there's really no good place to put these dev facing
bulletins, and the user-facing release notes aren't really the worst
place to put them, I guess, and we do kind of hope that it converts
users to devs.

In most real world cases, the Link header is set on the redirect, not on
the final file. This regressed in Lix earlier and while new unit tests
were added to cover it, this integration test should probably have also
caught it.
