So we received a report that the thread pool crashed due to an
Interrupted exception.
Relevant log tail:
copying path '/nix/store/0kal2k73inviikxv9f1ciaj39lkl9a87-etc-os-release' to 'ssh://192.168.0.27'...
Lix crashed. This is a bug. We would appreciate if you report it along with what caused it at https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues with the following information included:
error (ignored): error: interrupted by the user
Exception: nix::Interrupted: error: interrupted by the user
Relevant stack trace:

Notably, this is *not* in the main thread, so this implies that the
thread didn't get joined properly before their destructors got called.
That, in turn, should have only possibly happened because join() threw
on a previous iteration of the loop joining threads, I think. Or if it
threw while in the ThreadPool destructor. Either way we had better stop
letting Interrupted fall out of our child threads!
If:
- Interrupted was thrown inside the action in the main thread: it would
have fallen out of doWork if state->exception was already set and got
caught by ThreadPool::process, calling shutdown() and the join loop
which would crash the process entirely.
- Interrupted was thrown inside the action on a secondary thread: it
would have been caught and put into the exception field and then
possibly rethrown to fall out of the thread (since it was previously
ignoreExceptionExceptInterrupt).
The one possible hole in this hypothesis is that there is an "error
(ignored)" line in there implying that at least one Interrupted got
eaten by an ignoreExceptionInDestructor. It's also unclear whether this
got reordered because of stderr buffering.
Fixes: #542
