nix repl: Scan NixRepl for GC roots
Fixes #3175.

Eelco Dolstra bbe97dff8b Make the Store API more type-safe
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which
is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures
that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like
<store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like
buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path
by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix.

Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves
some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a
helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop()
function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics:
after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function
on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original
value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the
value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types.

Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern
(e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).

nix repl: add :edit command
This allows to have a repl-centric workflow to working on nixpkgs.

Usage:

    :edit <package> - heuristic that find the package file path

    :edit <path> - just open the editor on the file path

Once invoked, `nix repl` will open $EDITOR on that file path. Once the
editor exits, `nix repl` will automatically reload itself.

Revert "Restore parent mount namespace before executing a child process"
This reverts commit a0ef21262f. This
doesn't work in 'nix run' and nix-shell because setns() fails in
multithreaded programs, and Boehm GC mark threads are uncancellable.

Fixes #2646.

Kai Harries de5997332d repl: give user the choice between libeditline and libreadline
The goal is to support libeditline AND libreadline and let the user
decide at compile time which one to use.

Add a compile time option to use libreadline instead of
libeditline. If compiled against libreadline completion functionality
is lost because of a incompatibility between libeditlines and
libreadlines completion function. Completion with libreadline is
possible and can be added later.

To use libreadline instead of libeditline the environment
variables 'EDITLINE_LIBS' and 'EDITLINE_CFLAGS' have to been set
during the ./configure step.

Example:

  EDITLINE_LIBS="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhistory.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so"
  EDITLINE_CFLAGS="-DREADLINE"

The reason for this change is that for example on Debian already three
different editline libraries exist but none of those is compatible the
flavor used by nix. My hope is that with this change it would be
easier to port nix to systems that have already libreadline available.

Move EvalState from the stack to the heap
EvalState contains a few counters (e.g. nrValues) that increase
quickly enough that they end up being interpreted as pointers by the
garbage collector. Moving it to the heap makes them invisible to the
garbage collector.

This reduces the max RSS doing 100 evaluations of
nixos.tests.firefox.x86_64-linux.drvPath from 455 MiB to 292 MiB.

Note: ideally, allocations would be much further up in the 64-bit
address space to reduce the odds of an integer being misinterpreted as
a pointer. Maybe we can use some linker magic to move the .bss segment
to a higher address.
