this is supposed to act like a finally block does in other languages. a
finally block should be able to throw exceptions of its own rather than
just crashing the entire program when it throws it own exceptions. even
in the rare case of a finally throwing an unexpected exception it might
be better to report the exception from Finally instead of the original,
at least that can keep our program running instead of letting it crash.

usage of this flag previously kept connections open much longer than
necessary, and at the same time obscured that a connection was being
dropped when it *was* set. new variable names clarify this somewhat.

it was used incorrectly (not swapped on handle move), only used in one
place (that is now handled with exception handling detection in Handle
itself), and if ever reintroduced should be replaced with a different,
more understandable mechanism (like an explicit dropAsInvalid method).

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.
Change-Id: Idab8774bee19dadae0209d404c4fb86dd4aeba1e
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.

Perl has an env hook[1]. Passing the paths manually without putting them
in buildInputs is harder to understand, plays less nicely with dev
shells, and is less build-generic.
Produced identical output on my x86_64-linux machine, and on my
aarch64-darwin machine was identical save for the derivation output path
which gets embedded into the .dylib Mach-O.

this notably does *not* install the `nix3-manpages` manpage the old
system generated, mostly because that page was empty and just a bug
with a coat of documentation paint.

we'll want to use these for the meson builds, and probably eventually
rewrite them in something that isn't plain shell. diffoscope confirms
that out/share and doc/share are equal before and after these changes

The big ones here are `trim-trailing-whitespace` and `end-of-file-fixer`
(which makes sure that every file ends with exactly one newline
character).

We got confused what formals did and had to briefly figure it out. We
should just have docs, so these are some.

the autoconf build system defaults to /nix/var, not /nix/var/nix. the
latter is only used in libstore, so we'll move the extra segment there.

Without this, the Meson setup won't bail out if nlohmann_json is
missing, leading to subpar DX (and maybe worse, but I'm not entirely
sure).

one headers (args/root.hh) was simply missing, and the generated headers
were not installed. not all of them *should* be installed either, only a
select few (and sadly this needs a custom target for each one, it seems)

sometimes these fail with timeouts on loaded machines. let's up the
timeouts until we can pull the tests apart to more reasonable sizes

- Enable parallel builds by default (and allow using environment
variables to override `make` variables)
- Hopefully we can get rid of this once we have Meson
- Set `GTEST_BRIEF=1`
- This only shows failed tests, instead of listing every test on its
own line.
```
$ GTEST_BRIEF=1 make check

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).
Closes #164
Change-Id: Ied071c841fc30b0dfb575151afd1e7f66970fdb9
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.

This was achieved by running maintainers/buildtime_report.sh on the
build directory of a meson build, then asking "why the heck is json
eating our build times", and strategically moving the json using bits
out of widely included headers.
It turns out that putting literally any metrics whatsoever into the
build had immediate and predictable results.
Results are 1382.5s frontend time -> 1175.4s frontend time, back end
time approximately invariant.

I didn't enable this by default for clang due to making the build time
10% worse or so. Unfortunate, but tbh devs for whom 10% of build time is
not *that* bad should probably simply enable this.

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
