The old way was not correct.
Here is an example:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x 1' --show-trace
error: asdf
… while evaluating 'x'
at «string»:1:9:
1| let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x 1
| ^
… from call site
at «string»:1:29:
1| let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x 1
| ^
```
and yet also:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x' --show-trace
<LAMBDA>
```
Here is the thing: in both cases we are evaluating `x`!
Nix is a higher-order languages, and functions are a sort of value. When
we write `x = a: ...`, `a: ...` is the expression that `x` is being
defined to be, and that is already a value. Therefore, we should *never*
get an trace that says "while evaluating `x`", because evaluating `a:
...` is *trival* and nothing happens during it!
What is actually happening here is we are applying `x` and evaluating
its *body* with arguments substituted for parameters. I think the
simplest way to say is just "while *calling* `x`", and so that is what I
changed it to.
We need to close the GC server socket before shutting down the active
GC client connections, otherwise a client may (re)connect and get
ECONNRESET. But also handle ECONNRESET for resilience.

It calls strlen() on the input (rather than simply copying at most
`size` bytes), which can fail if the input is not zero-terminated and
is inefficient in any case.
Fixes#7347.
why-depends assumed that we knew the output path of the second argument.
For CA derivations, we might not know until it's built. One way to solve
this would be to build the second installable to get the output path.
In this case we don't need to, though. If the first installable (A)
depends on the second (B), then getting the store path of A will
necessitate having the store path B. The contrapositive is, if the store
path of B is not known (i.e. it's a CA derivation which hasn't been
built), then A does not depend on B.
We shouldn't skip this if the supplementary group list is empty,
because then the sandbox won't drop the supplementary groups of the
parent (like "root").
