jade edba570664 HOT SALE: 15% off your build times!
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.

jade 18ed6c3bdf Implement a repl characterization test system
This allows for automating using the repl without needing a PTY, with
very easy to write test files.

jade 38571c50e6 Implement a parser for a literate testing system for the repl
This parser can be reused for other purposes. It's inspired by
https://bitheap.org/cram/

Although eelco's impostor exists https://github.com/mobusoperandi/eelco,
it is not very nice to depend on out of tree testing frameworks with no
way to customize them.

jade 1b8662b85c import the revisions to the characterization test framework from cppnix
This has some Flaws for sure (like, it is going to be a bit stretched to
use for repl characterization), but it is a start.

John Ericson 615bd655e5 Add missing -pthread for test support libraries
This is good in general (see how the other libraries also have long had
it, since 49fe9592a4) but in particular
needed to fix the NetBSD build.

John Ericson f7f37035c8 Move tests to separate directories, and document
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:

- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
  built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
  of Nix proper.

- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:

  - It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
    it needs the libraries.

  - It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
    DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
    with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!

This reorg solves these problems.

There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.
