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.

Commit 4dbbd721eb intended to mark all settings
as overridden when they are. Unfortunately, due to an oversight, this marking
was accidentally performed in the implementation details of non-appendable
options. Move it to the common codepath so that it works for appendable options
too.

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.

libcurl may call callbacks during unpause. if libcurl calls these
callbacks often enough they may find that they've exhausted their
allotted buffer space, at which point they will call dataCallback
as provided in enqueueFileTransfer. download() provides callbacks
that have their own state locks and may call unpause on transfers
with *their* state locks they share with curlFileTransfer. it was
possible to cause a deadlock between these two if the curl worker
thread tried to provide some data to a callback with the transfer
state lock held and the user transfer simultaneously unpaused its
associated curl transfer, with its own state lock held. obviously
not a great situation, but avoidable by not holding any lock when
we unpause transfers and execute their callbacks, as is otherwise
the case when a transfer runs normally and is never paused at all

The devShell relied on several packages directly from `pkgs`
or used with a non-splice-aware functions.
These would be built for the host system, making them useless
in a devShell for the build system.
Make sure that all packages are for the build system when needed.
Some other minor changes also required:
* Make devShells use `clangStdenv` because GCC is currently broken
* Disable rr when making a cross stdenv

The lix package currently fails unless it's using a clang stdenv.
However, the flake's cross build outputs (e.g. `packages.x86_64-linux.nix-armv7l-linux`)
used the default stdenv, normally gcc.
Replace this with clang to fix package build.
Also take this opportunity to remove the no longer necessary `useLLVM = true`
override on FreeBSD. Since 24.05, nixpkgs always sets `useLLVM = true`
on FreeBSD in `lib.systems.elaborate`.

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`.

curl handles timeouts internally when it acts as the main event loop. we
only need to wake up to add new transfers to the multi handle or restart
an existing transfer that has passed its restart wait time. periodically
waking up is not required for curl, and we don't need it any more either

don't pause the entire curl thread. we have multiple consumer threads
after all, not just one, so stalling all of them is likely not great.
note that libcurl advises against using transfer pauses if compressed
encodings are allowed and automatically decoded. this should not lead
to problems in practice because our data is usually not compressed to
such a degree that curl buffering *uncompressed* data matters. should
this cause problems we can reintroduce the whole-thread pause, but we
will probably get away with this until the entire file transfer class
is made kj::Promise-using async (and *then* curl can be hardpaused if
it cannot get rid of its data, solving the problem once and for all).

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.

It's only used in a couple of tests, and only in such a way that
replacing it with a random command suffices.

curl can't pause downloads of file:// urls, which is very much in the
way of making the curl wrapper fully asynchronous. we can emulate all
the things curl does, but unfortunately curl is *rather extensive* in
its support of frankly weird shit. hopefully this subset of features,
which notably does not include curl readdir support, is enough for us

with the api cleaned up we can suddenly reunify uploads, downloads, and
existence checks through curl in the same wrapper function. uploads and
existence checks simply don't use the result source, and given that all
transfers (or at least *most* transfers to date) go through the network
the few extra allocations do not hurt us at all. even for file:// calls
the overhead won't much matter as going to disk and back *is* expensive

etag changing implies with high probability that the content of the
resource changed. immutable url changing implies that the immutable
url we got previously was wrong, which is probably a server bug. if
the encoding changes our decoding will break completely, so that is
also very illegal. one notable change we still allow is etags going
away completely, mostly since this does not imply any data changes.

do not retread the entire redirection path if we've seen the end of the
road. this avoids silently downloading wrong data, and notifies us when
a url we've received data from turns into a redirect when retrying. for
reasons of simplicity we don't turn of libcurl redirects on retries. if
we did that we'd have to conditionally process http status codes, which
sounds annoying and would make the header callback even more of a mess.

this will let us return metadata for a transfer without having to wait
for the entire transfer to complete. more importantly for current uses
though is that we could now send retries to the effective url directly
instead of retreading the entire redirect path. this improves latency,
and in such cases where redirects change while we're downloading it'll
also improve correctness (previously we'd silently download bad data).
