the new event loop could very occasionally notice that a dependency of
some goal has failed, process the failure, cause the depending goal to
fail accordingly, and in the doing of the latter two steps let further
dependencies that previously have not been reported as failed do their
reporting anyway. in such cases a goal could fail with "1 dependencies
failed", but more than one dependency failure message was shown. we'll
now report the correct number of failed dependency goals in all cases.

these can be unique rather than shared because shared_ptr has a
converting constructor. preparatory refactor for something else
and not necessary on its own, and the extra allocations we must
do for shared_ptr control blocks isn't usually relevant anyway.

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.

Using `configure_file` to copy files has been deprecated since Meson 0.64.0.
The intended replacement is the `fs.copyfile` method.
This removes the following deprecation warning that arises when a minimum
Meson version is specified:
``
Project [...] uses feature deprecated since '0.64.0': copy arg in configure_file. Use fs.copyfile instead
``

also gets rid of explicit strong references to dependencies of any goal,
and weak references to dependers as well. those are now only held within
promises representing goal completion and thus independent of the goal's
relation to each other. the weak references to dependers was only needed
for notifications, and that's much better handled entirely by kj itself.

now that we have an event loop in the worker we can use it and its
magical execution suspending properties to replace the slot counts
we managed explicitly with semaphores and raii tokens. technically
this would not have needed an event loop base to be doable, but it
is a whole lot easier to wait for a token to be available if there
is a callback mechanism ready for use that doesn't require a whole
damn dedicated abstract method in Goal to work, and specific calls
to that dedicated method strewn all over the worker implementation

this removes the rather janky did-you-mean-async poll loop we had so
far. sadly kj does not play well with pty file descriptors, so we do
have to add our own async input stream that does not eat pty EIO and
turns it into an exception. that's still a *lot* better than the old
code, and using a real even loop makes everything else easier later.

like a normal semaphore, but with awaitable acquire actions. this is
primarily intended as an intermediate concurrency limiting device in
the Worker code, but it may find other uses over time. we do not use
std::counting_semaphore as a base because the counter of that is not
inspectable as will be needed for Worker. we also do not need atomic
operations for cross-thread consistency since we don't have multiple
threads (thanks to kj event loops being confined to a single thread)

These stack traces kind of suck for the reasons mentioned on the
CppTrace page here (no symbols for inline functions is a major one):
https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace
I would consider using CppTrace if it were packaged, but to be honest, I
think that the more reasonable option is actually to move entirely to
out-of-process crash handling and symbolization.
The reason for this is that if you want to generate anything of
substance on SIGSEGV or really any deadly signal, you are stuck in
async-signal-safe land, which is not a place to be trying to run a
symbolizer. LLVM does it anyway, probably carefully, and chromium *can*
do it on debug builds but in general uses crashpad:
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/debug/stack_trace_posix.cc;l=974;drc=82dff63dbf9db05e9274e11d9128af7b9f51ceaa;bpv=1;bpt=1
However, some stack traces are better than *no* stack traces when we get
mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the program. I've also
promoted the path for "mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the
program" to hard crash and generate a core dump because although there's
been some months since the last one of these, these are nonetheless
always *atrociously* diagnosed.
We can't improve the crash handling further until either we use Crashpad
(which involves more C++ deps, no thanks) or we put in the ostensibly
work in progress Rust minidump infrastructure, in which case we need to
finish full support for Rust in libutil first.

This caused an infinite loop before since it would just keep asking the
underlying source for more data.
In practice this happened because an HTTP server served a
response to a HEAD request (for which curl will not retrieve any body or
call our write callback function) with Content-Encoding: br, leading to
decompressing nothing at all and going into an infinite loop.
This adds a test to make sure none of our compression methods do that
again, as well as just patching the HTTP client to never feed empty data
into a compression algorithm (since they absolutely have the right to
throw CompressionError on unexpectedly-short streams!).

The legitimate output of `nix path-info` may visually interfere with the
progress bar, by appending to stale progress output before the latter has been
erased. Conveniently, all expensive operations (evaluation or building) have
already been performed before, so we can simply wipe the progress bar at this
point to fix the issue.

See #496.
The core idea is to be able to do e.g.
nix-instantiate -A some-nonfree-thing --arg config.allowUnfree true
which is currently not possible since `config.allowUnfree` is
interpreted as attribute name with a dot in it.
In order to change that (probably), Jade suggested to find out if there
are any folks out there relying on this behavior.
For such a use-case, it may still be possible to accept strings, i.e.
`--arg '"config.allowUnfree"'.

* Move the extended attribute deletion after the hardlink sanity check. We
shouldn't be removing extended attributes on random files.
* Make the entity owner-writable before attempting to remove extended
attributes, since this operation usually requires write access on the file,
and we shouldn't fail xattr deletion on a file that has been made unwritable
by the builder or a previous canonicalisation pass.

When generating shell completions, no logging output should be visible because
it would destroy the shell prompt. Originally this was attempted to be done by
simply disabling the progress bar (ca946860ce),
since the situation is particularly bad there (the screen clearing required for
the rendering ends up erasing the shell prompt). Due to overlooking the
implementation of this hack, it was accidentally undone during a later change
(0dd1d8ca1c).
Since even with the hack correctly in place, it is still possible to mess up
the prompt by logging output (for example warnings for disabled experimental
features, or messages generated by `builtins.trace`), simply send it to the bit
bucket where it belongs. This was already done for bash and zsh
(9d840758a8), and it seems that fish was simply
missed at that time. The last trace of the no-longer-working and obsolete hack
is deleted too.

- Rename the listener to not be called a "sink". If it were a "sink" it
would be eating bytes and conform with any of the Nix sink stuff
(maybe FileHandle should be a Sink itself! but that's a later CL's
problem). This is a parser listener.
- Move the RetrieveRegularNARSink thing into store-api.cc, which is its
only usage, and fix it to actually do what it is stated to do: crash
if its invariants are violated.
It's, of course, used to erm, unpack single-file NAR files, generated
via a horrible contraption of sources and sinks that looks like a
plumbing blueprint. Refactoring that is a future task.
- Add a description of the invariants of NARParseVisitor in preparation
of refactoring it.

using a proper event loop basis we no longer have to worry about most of
the intricacies of poll(), or platform-dependent replacements for it. we
may even be able to use the event loop and its promise system for all of
our scheduling in the future. we don't do any real async processing yet,
this is just preparation to separate the first such change from the huge
api design difference with the async framework we chose (kj from capnp):
kj::Promise, unlike std::future, doesn't return exceptions unmangled. it
instead wraps any non-kj exception into a kj exception, erasing all type
information and preserving mostly the what() string in the process. this
makes sense in the capnp rpc use case where unrestricted exception types
can't be transferred, and since it moves error handling styles closer to
a world we'd actually like there's no harm in doing it only here for now

we're using boost::outcome rather than leaf or stl types because stl
types are not available everywhere and leaf does not provide its own
storage for error values, relying on thread-locals and the stack. if
we want to use promises we won't have a stack and would have to wrap
everything into leaf-specific allocating wrappers, so outcome it is.

When the multi-line log format is enabled, the progress bar usually occupies
multiple lines on the screen. When stopping the progress bar, only the last
line was wiped, leaving all others visible on the screen. Erase all lines
belonging to the progress bar to prevent these leftovers.
Asking the user for input is theoretically affected by a similar issue, but
this is not observed in practice since the only place where the user is asked
(whether configuration options coming from flakes should be accepted) does not
actually have multiple lines on the progress bar. However, there is no real
reason to not fix this either, so let's do it anyway.

The AcceptFlakeConfig type used was missing its JSON serialisation definition,
so it was incorrectly serialised as an integer, ending up that way for example
in the nix.conf manual page. Declare a proper serialisation.
Change-Id: If8ec210f9d4dd42fe480c4e97d0a4920eb66a01e
The JSON serialisation should be declared in the header so that all translation
units can see it when needed, even though it seems that it has not been used
anywhere else so far. Unfortunately, this means we cannot use the
NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM convenience macro, since it uses a slightly
different signature, but the code is not too bad either.

This is the repl overlay from my dotfiles, which I think provides a
