Part of an effort to make it easier to initialize the right things,

The goal of this reordering is to make initLibStore self-sufficient
in a following commit.

Using libstore without loading the config file is risky, as sqlite
may then be misconfigured. See https://github.com/cachix/cachix/issues/475
* Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs
99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions:
- Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note
- Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get
per-definition docs
Also fixed a few whitespace goofs, turning leading tabs to spaces and
removing trailing spaces.
Picking up from #8133
* Fix two things from comments
* Use triple-backtick not indent for `dumpPath`
* Convert GNU-style `\`..'` quotes to markdown style in API docs
This will render correctly.
This is non-breaking change in the to-JSON direction. This *is* a
breaking change in the from-JSON direction, but we don't care, as that
is brand new in this PR.
`nix show-derivation --help` currently has the sole public documentation
of this format, it is updated accordingly.
The `write` name is ambiguous and could lead to some funny bugs like
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8173#issuecomment-1500009480. So
rename it to the more explicit `writeUnbuffered`.
Besides, this method shouldn't be (and isn't) used outside of the class
implementation, so mark it `protected`.
This makes it more symetrical to `BufferedSource` which uses a
`protected readUnbuffered` method.
This function returns true or false depending on whether the Nix client
is trusted or not. Mostly relevant when speaking to a remote store with
a daemon.
We include this information in `nix ping store` and `nix doctor`

They are put in the manual separate pages under the new overarching
description of experimental features.
The settings page just lists the valid experimental feature names (so
people know what a valid setting entry looks like), with links to those
pages. It doesn't attempt to describe each experimental feature as that
is too much information for the configuration settings section.
Add a page explaining what “experimental features” are, when and how they should be used

This introduces the SourcePath type from lazy-trees as an abstraction
for accessing files from inputs that may not be materialized in the
real filesystem (e.g. Git repositories). Currently, however, it's just
a wrapper around CanonPath, so it shouldn't change any behaviour. (On
lazy-trees, SourcePath is a <InputAccessor, CanonPath> tuple.)
the semantics are not explained in the referenced section any more, they
have been moved to the documentation for common options in the new CLI [0].

Instead of constructing a markdown list in C++ (which involved all sorts
of nasty string literals), export some JSON and assemble it with the
manual build system.
Besides following the precedent set with other dumped data, this is a
better separate of content and presentation; if we decide for example we
want to display this information in a different way, or in a different
section of the manual, it will become much easier to do so.
switch statements must now match all enum values or disable the
warning.
Explicit is good. This has helped us find two bugs, after solving
another one by debugging.
From now on, adding to an enum will raise errors where they are
not explicitly handled, which is good for productivity, and helps
us decide the correct behavior in all usages.
Notably still excluded from this though are the cases where the
warning is disabled by local pragmas.
fromTOML.cc did not build despite a top-level pragma, so I've had
to resort to a makefile solution for that.
