eldritch horrors 649d8cd08f libstore: remove Worker::removeGoal
we can use our newfound powers of Goal::work Is A Real Promise to remove
completed goals from continuation promises. apart from being much easier
to follow it's also a lot more efficient because we have the iterator to
the item we are trying to remove, skipping a linear search of the cache.

eldritch horrors 9adf6f4568 libstore: remove Goal::notify
Goal::work() is a fully usable promise that does not rely on the worker
to report completion conditions. as such we no longer need the `notify`
field that enabled this interplay. we do have to clear goal caches when
destroying the worker though, otherwise goal promises may (incorrectly)
keep goals alive due to strong shared pointers created by childStarted.

eldritch horrors 1caf2afb1d libstore: move Goal::buildResult to WorkResult
derivation goals still hold a BuildResult member variable since parts of
these results of accumulated in different places, but the Goal class now
no longer has such a field. substitution goals don't need it at all, and
derivation goals should also be refactored to not drop their buildResult

eldritch horrors fc6291e46d libstore: return goal results from Worker::run()
this will be needed to move all interesting result fields out of Goal
proper and into WorkResult. once that is done we can treat goals as a
totally internal construct of the worker mechanism, which also allows
us to fully stop exposing unclear intermediate state to Worker users.

eldritch horrors 40f154c0ed libstore: remove Worker::topGoals
since we now propagate goal exceptions properly we no longer need to
check topGoals for a reason to abort early. any early abort reasons,
whether by exception or a clean top goal failure, can now be handled
by inspecting the goal result in the main loop. this greatly reduces
goal-to-goal interactions that do not happen at the main loop level.

since the underscore-free name is now available for use as variables
we'll migrate to that where we currently use `_topGoals` for locals.

eldritch horrors a9f2aab226 libstore: extract Worker::goalFinished specifics
there's no reason to have the worker set information on goals that the
goals themselves return from their entry point. doing this in the goal
`work()` function is much cleaner, and a prerequisite to removing more
implicit strong shared references to goals that are currently running.

eldritch horrors 99edc2ae38 libstore: check for interrupts in parallel promise
this simplifies the worker loop, and lets us remove it entirely later.
note that ideally only one promise waiting for interrupts should exist
in the entire system. not one per event loop, one per *process*. extra
interrupt waiters make interrupt response nondeterministic and as such
aren't great for user experience. if anything wants to react to aborts
caused by explicit interruptions, or anything else, those things would
be much better served using RAII guards such as Finally (or KJ_DEFER).

this was a triumph. i'm making a note here: huge success. it's hard to
overstate my satisfaction! i'm not even angry. i'm being so sincere ri

actually, no. we *are* angry. this was one dumbass odyssey. nobody has
asked for this. but not doing it would have locked us into old, broken
protocols forever or (possibly worse) forced us to write our own async
framework building on the old did-you-mean-continuations in Worker. if
we had done that we'd be locked into ever more, and ever more complex,
manual state management all over the place. this just could not stand.

eldritch horrors a3dd07535c fix build test error count checks
with async runtime scheduling we can no longer guarantee exact error
counts for builds that do not set keepGoing. the old behavior can be
recovered with a number of hacks that affect scheduling, but none of
those are very easy to follow now advisable. exact error counts will
like not be needed for almost all uses except tests, and *those* had
better check the actual messages rather than how many they got. more
messages can even help to avoid unnecessary rebuilds for most users.

doc: install the HTML manual again
In 0e6b3435a1, installation of the HTML manual
was accidentally dropped: setting install_dir on a custom_target only sets the
directory where something is going to be installed if it is installed at all,
but does not itself trigger installation. The latter has to be explicitly
requested, which is just what we do here to get the manual back.

eldritch horrors 5b1715e633 libstore: forbid addWantedGoals when finished
due to event loop scheduling behavior it's possible for a derivation
goal to fully finish (having seen all paths it was asked to create),
but to not notify the worker of this in time to prevent another goal
asking the recently-finished goal for more outputs. if this happened
the finished goal would ignore the request for more outputs since it
considered itself fully done, and the delayed result reporting would
cause the requesting goal to assume its request had been honored. if
the requested goal had finished *properly* the worker would recreate
it instead of asking for more outputs, and this would succeed. it is
thus safe to always recreate goals once they are done, so we now do.

Remove static initializers for RegisterLegacyCommand
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`.

Split ignoreException to avoid suppressing CTRL-C
This splits `ignoreException` into `ignoreExceptionExceptInterrupt`
(which ignores all exceptions except `Interrupt`, which indicates a
SIGINT/CTRL-C) and `ignoreExceptionInDestructor` (which ignores all
exceptions, so that destructors do not throw exceptions).

This prevents many cases where Nix ignores CTRL-C entirely.

we'll now loop to update displayed statistics, and use this loop to

much more frequently before this (once per iteration of `runImpl`),
much faster than would ever be useful in practice. aggressive stats
updates can even impede progress due to terminal or network delays.

eldritch horrors ccd2862666 libstore: remove worker removeGoal
this was immensely inefficient on large caches, as can exist when many
derivations are buildable simultaneously. since we have smart pointers
to goals we can do cache maintenance in goal deleters instead, and use
the exact iterators instead of doing a linear search. this *does* rely
on goals being deleted to remove them from the cache, which isn't true
for toplevel goals. those would have previously been removed when done
in all cases, removing the cache entry when keep-going is set. this is
arguably incorrect since it might result in those goals being retried,
although that could only happen with dynamic derivations or the likes.
(luckily dynamic derivations not complete enough to allow this at all)

without circular references we do not need weak goal pointers except for
caches, which should not prevent goal destructors running. caches though
cannot create circular references even when they keep strong references.
if we removed goals from caches when their work() is fully finished, not
when their destructors are run, we could keep strong pointers in caches.
since we do not gain much from this we keep those pointers weak for now.

failed", but more than one dependency failure message was shown. we'll
now report the correct number of failed dependency goals in all cases.

libfetchers/git: restore compat with builtins.fetchGit from 2.3
Since fb38459d6e, each `ref` is appended
with `refs/heads` unless it starts with `refs/` already. This regressed
two use-cases that worked fine before:

* Specifying a commit hash as `ref`: now, if `ref` looks like a commit
  hash it will be directly passed to `git fetch`.

* Specifying a tag without `refs/tags` as prefix: now, the fetcher prepends
  `refs/*` to a ref that doesn't start with `refs/` and doesn't look
  like a commit hash. That way, both a branch and a tag specified in
  `ref` can be fetched.

  The order of preference in git is

  * file in `refs/` (e.g. `HEAD`)
  * file in `refs/tags/`
  * file in `refs/heads` (i.e. a branch)

  After fetching `refs/*`, ref is resolved the same way as git does.

The intended replacement is the `fs.copyfile` method.

build: install html manual without using install_subdir
In Meson, `install_subdir` is meant to be used with directories in the source
directory. When using it to install the HTML manual, we provide it with a path
under the build directory.

We should instead specify an install directory for the HTML manual as part of
the custom target that builds it.

What we do currently isn't broken, just semantically incorrect. Changing it does
get rid of the following deprecation warning, though:

``
Project [...] uses feature deprecated since '0.60.0': install_subdir with empty directory. It worked by accident and is buggy. Use install_emptydir instead.
``
