eldritch horrors 862f20a4ba libutil: remove Pool::flushBad
this was never actually used, and bad design in the first place—why
should a bad resource be put back into the idle pool? just drop it.

eldritch horrors 620de98d0c libutil: drop Pool resources on exceptional free
if a scope owning a resource does not gracefully drop that resource
while handling exceptions from deeper down the call stack we should
assume the resource is invalid state and drop it. currently it *is*
true that such cases do not cause resources to be freed, but thanks
to validator misuses this has so far not caused any larger problem.

John Ericson f7f37035c8 Move tests to separate directories, and document
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:

- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
  built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
  of Nix proper.

- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:

  - It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
    it needs the libraries.

  - It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
    DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
    with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!

This reorg solves these problems.

There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.
