This is a useful piece of functionality to being able to eat URL
hyperlinks, for instance, which is a bug that Lix has while dealing with
terminal output today.

I want this for being able to write reasonable expect-test style tests
for oneliners. We will still probably want something like insta for more
complicated test cases where you actually *want* the output in a
different file, but for now this will do.

this finally gives us a witness type we can use to prove that a certain
call graph subtree can't be used in kj promises using only a single new
assumption: if EvalState& is never held as a reference member of a type
and instead only ever passes as an argument or held on the stack we can
be certain that anything that has access to en EvalState ref must never
be run inside a promise and, crucially, that anything that doesn't have
access to an EvalState& *can* be run inside a promise without problems.

this is not necessary in any way, but it will make the following changes
smaller and easier to review. the aliases could also be added piecemeal,
but doing it here lets us lean heavily on our compilers for correctness.
(teacher notes: here the author foreshadows the shape of things to come.
not all names change, and only the names unchanged are those which will,
over time, become ever more unrecognizable. note especially nix/main.cc,
where `state` is not only cloned, but itself changes pointerness. it can
be seen as a nod to the trans community, but more realistically it is no
more than foreshadowing the future where `state` is only seen by proxy.)

this will let us pass the capability to create debuggable eval errors
without having to pass an entire EvalState. we could pass symbols and
debug states around just as easily, but if we add new capabilities to
our debugger we might have to change many more places than with this.

affect the builtins which do comparisons.

not all of these are even used by eval itself. notably sWith wasn't used
at all, sEpsilon was only used by the eval cache one layer up, and other
attributes are used in places even further away from eval itself. we can
keep this commingling for now, but eventually we should clean it up too.

the very slight speedup in config setting access is not worth the
maintenance overhead of conflating concers like this. the virtual
inheritance scheme used for configs requires too much duplication
of base class constructor arguments to be worth doing. perhaps we
should get rid of all virtual inheritance of data-membered bases?

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.

The API design for this is forced by the macOS pthread_setname_np only
being able to change the current thread's name, but if we just conform

file:// urls are no longer handled by curl itself, and this is supposed

this only ever worked for empty uploads, and there it worked only by
complete accident: curl was asked to send more data than the wrapper
would provide, which curl would not like and report as an error. the
error would cause a retry with even less data to send, until finally
failing by running into the retry limit. let's just forbid all this.

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.

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).

it's just a uri and some headers now. those can be function arguments
with no loss of clarity. *actual* additional arguments, for example a
TLS context with additional certificates, could be added on a new and
improved FileTransfer class that carries not just a backend reference
but some real, visible context for its transfers. curl not being very
multi-threading-friendly when using multi handles will make sharing a
bit hard anyway once we drop the single global download worker thread

There was a bug report about a potential call to `memcpy` with a null
pointer which is not reproducible:
#492
This occurred in `src/libstore/filetransfer.cc` in `InnerSource::read`.
To ensure that this doesn't happen, an early return is added before
calling `memcpy` if the length of the data to be copied is 0.
This change also adds a test that ensures that when `InnerSource::read`
is called with an empty file, it throws an `EndOfFile` exception.

This moves the "legacy"/"nix2" commands under a new `src/legacy/`
directory, instead of being scattered around in a bunch of different
directories.
A new `liblegacy` build target is defined, and the `nix` binary is
linked against it.
Then, `RegisterLegacyCommand` is replaced with `LegacyCommand::add`
calls in functions like `registerNixCollectGarbage()`. These
registration functions are called explicitly in `src/nix/main.cc`.

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!).
