The following command is now sufficient to build Lix from outside of the
flake:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage
./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage
./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }'

In our view it really doesn't make sense to not have this in in
package.nix in some way. These patches aren't just for performance or
something -- Lix flat out doesn't build without these patches.
(Arguably that makes them a buildsystem responsibility as well, but that
can wait for when we're ready to start adding subproject fallback
dependency resolution to Meson.)
This is a step towards making `package.nix` more self-sufficient and
`callPackage`able without excessive external logic.
With this change the following command is enough to build Lix from out
of the flake:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage
./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; inherit (pkgs.lib) fileset;
nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage ./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }'

Commit c21d11ac0 "docs: replace sed invocation with an mdbook
preprocessor for @docroot@" added a direct build dependency on Python.
This has been accidentally working so far because Python is already a
*transitive* dependency of Lix's derivation.

For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on
builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments
on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that
information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way.
NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended
to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is
experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here.
These changes are based on [the nix-doc library](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc) and
are licensed under the terms described in the relevant source files.

We don't apply any patches to it, and vendoring it locks users into
bugs (it hasn't been updated since its introduction in late 2021).

Functional tests can be run with
`meson test -C build --suite installcheck`.
Notably, functional tests must be run *after* running `meson install`
(Lix's derivation runs the installcheck suite in installCheckPhase so it
does this correctly), due to some quirks between Meson and the testing
system.
As far as I can tell the functional tests are meant to be run after
installing anyway, but unfortunately I can't transparently make
`meson test --suite installcheck` depend on the install targets.
The script that runs the functional tests, meson/run-test.py, checks
that `meson install` has happened and fails fast with a (hopefully)
helpful error message if any of the functional tests are run before
installing.

hacking changelog-d to support not just github but also forgejo and
gerrit is a lot more complicated than it's worth, even moreso since
the entire thing can just as well be done with ~60 lines of python.
this new script is also much cheaper to instantiate (being python),
so having it enabled in all shells is far less of a hassle.
we've also adjusted existing release notes that referenced a gerrit
cl to auto-link to the cl in question, making the diff a bit bigger

Unit tests can be run with `meson test -C build --suite check`.
`--suite check` is optional, as right now that's the only test suite,
but when functional tests are added those will be in a separate suite.

This commit adds several meson.build, which successfully build and
install Lix executables, libraries, and headers. Meson does not yet
build docs, Perl bindings, or run tests, which will be added in
following commits. As such, this commit does not remove the existing
build system, or make it the default, and also as such, this commit has
several FIXMEs and TODOs as notes for what should be done before the
existing autoconf + make buildsystem can be removed and Meson made the
default. This commit does not modify any source files.
A Meson-enabled build is also added as a Hydra job, and to
`nix flake check`.

this lets us set per-test-program environment variables rather than only
a single, global default. this was supported in nix originally but
might've gone partially missing in the upstream backports process?

This commit is logically just a continuation of the previous commit's
refactor, but exists separately to delineate when the core Nix
derivation hash changed (this commit).

This series takes a somewhat different approach from the flake rework
done in NixOS/nix. The package.nix here does not provide callPackage
options for all the various settings in the build, and instead the other
places Nix derivations are used (like internal-api-docs) will .overrideAttrs
the normal Nix package derivation. This more closely matches how these
things were structured originally, and results in less churn and more
atomicity in these changes.
In the future, package.nix likely will migrate to have more build
options in the callPackage arguments, but we are also planning to
rewrite the build system anyway.
