This series takes a somewhat different approach from the flake rework
done in NixOS/nix. The package.nix here does not provide callPackage
options for all the various settings in the build, and instead the other
places Nix derivations are used (like internal-api-docs) will .overrideAttrs
the normal Nix package derivation. This more closely matches how these
things were structured originally, and results in less churn and more
atomicity in these changes.
In the future, package.nix likely will migrate to have more build
options in the callPackage arguments, but we are also planning to
rewrite the build system anyway.

This solves the problem of collections of boxed subclasses with virtual
dispatch, which should still be treated as values, since the
indirection is only there due to the virtual dispatch.

it's no longer widely used and has a rather confusing meaning now that
inherit-from is handled very differently.

desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also
duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and
expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).

deduplication does not currently work fully, showing derivations
multiple times if they have different underlying values. this can happen
by selecting the same derivation twice for two different attributes of a
set, using inherit-from (which reduces to the previous), importing
nixpkgs twice, or any other number of things.
since users already have to deal with duplicates for this reason it
won't hurt to add *more* duplicates. the alternative would be to
deduplicate fully, which would drop derivations that are currently
returned and those pose a regression risk.

for plain inherits this is really just a stylistic choice, but for
inherit-from it actually fixes an exponential size increase problem
during expr printing (as may happen during assertion failure reporting,
on during duplicate attr detection in the parser)

this also has the effect of sorting let bindings lexicographically
rather than by symbol creation order as was previously done, giving a
better canonicalization in the process.

without these changes the tests will very repeatably (although not very
reliably) wedge in our runs. the ssh command starts, opens a sessions,
does something, the session closes again, but the test does not move on.
adding *just* the redirect and not the unit waits is not sufficient
either, it needs both. this feels like a bug in the nixos testing
framework somewhere, but digging that far is not in the cards right now.

Pretty-print values in the REPL by printing each item in a list or
attrset on a separate line. When possible, single-item lists and
attrsets are printed on one line, as long as they don't contain a nested
list, attrset, or thunk.
Before:
```
{ attrs = { a = { b = { c = { }; }; }; }; list = [ 1 ]; list' = [ 1 2 3 ]; }
```
After:
```
{
attrs = {
a = {
b = {
c = { };
};
};
};
list = [ 1 ];
list' = [
1
2
3
];
}
```

While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in
dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of
EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v))
we could write
TypeError(v, "boolean")
or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical
refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to
be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the
codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error
from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first
step towards error codes / an error index.
This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to
support exception types with different constructor signatures than
`BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data
will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to
touch every exception in `libexpr`).
The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this:
state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow<TypeError>()
are transformed like this:
state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow()
The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to
`EvalState::error`.

`nix eval` forces values and prints derivations as attribute sets, so
commands that print derivations (e.g. `nix eval nixpkgs#bash`) will
infinitely loop and segfault.
Printing derivations as `.drv` paths makes `nix eval` complete as
expected. Further work is needed, but this is better than a segfault.

these symbols are used a *lot*, so it makes sense to cache them. this
mostly increases clarity of the code (however clear one may wish to call
the parser desugaring here), but it also provides a small performance
benefit.

there's no reason the parser itself should be doing semantic analysis
like bindVars. split this bit apart (retaining the previous name in
EvalState) and have the parser really do *only* parsing, decoupled from
EvalState.

most EvalState and Expr members defined here could be elsewhere, where

syntax) and *somewhat* more faithfully placed according to the path of

ParserState better describes what this struct really is. the parser
really does modify its state (most notably position and symbol tables),
so calling it that rather than obliquely "data" (which implies being
input only) makes sense.

since nix doesn't use the bison `error` terminal anywhere any invocation
of yyerror will immediately cause a failure. since we're *already*
leaking tons of memory whatever little bit bison allocates internally
doesn't much matter any more, and we'll be replacing the parser soon anyway.
coincidentally this now also matches the error behavior of URIs when
they are disabled or ~/ paths in pure eval mode, duplicate attr
detection etc.
