Move the identical static `chmod_` functions in libstore to
libutil. the function is called `chmodPath` instead of `chmod`
as otherwise it will shadow the standard library chmod in the nix
namespace, which is somewhat confusing.

2bbe3efd1¹ added the -Wdeprecated-copy warning, and fixed the instances
of it which GCC warned about, in HintFmt and ref<T>. However, when
building with Clang, there is an additional deprecated-copy warning in
BaseError. This commit explicitly defaults the copy assignment operator
for BaseError and silences this warning.

The interrupt-blocking code was originally introduced 20 years ago so that
trying to log an error message does not result in an interrupt exception being
thrown and then going unhandled (c8d3882cdc).
However, the logging code does not check for interrupts any more
(054be50257), so this reasoning is no longer
applicable. Delete this code so that later interrupts are unblocked again, for
example in the next line entered into the repl.

it's no longer used. it really shouldn't have existed this long since it
was just a mashup of both std::promise and std::packaged_task in a shape
that makes composition unnecessarily difficult. all but a single case of
Callback pattern calls were fully synchronous anyway, and even this sole
outlier was by far not important enough to justify the extra complexity.

only two users of this function exist. only one used it in a way that
even bears resemblance to asynchronicity, and even that one didn't do
it right. fully async and parallel computation would have only worked
if any getEdgesAsync never calls the continuation it receives itself,
only from more derived callbacks running on other threads. calling it
directly would cause the decoupling promise to be awaited immediately
*on the original thread*, completely negating all nice async effects.

If unprivileged userns are *believed* to be disabled (such as with
"kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 0"), Lix would previously *give up*
on trying to use a user namespace before actually trying it, even if, in
cases such as unprivileged_userns_clone, it would actually be allowed
since Nix has CAP_SYS_ADMIN when running as daemon.
(see, e.g. 25d4709a4f)
We changed it to actually try it first, and then diagnose possible
causes, and also to be more loud about the whole thing, using warnings
instead of debugs. These warnings will only print on the first build run
by the daemon, which is, tbh, eh, shrug.
This is what led to us realizing that no-userns was a poorly exercised
condition.

this is used in CA rewriting, replacement of placeholders in
derivations, generating scripts for devShells, and some more
places. in all of these transitive replacements are unsound,
and overlapping replacements would be as well. there even is
a test that transitive replacements do not happen (in the CA
RewriteSink suite), but none for overlapping replacements. a
minimally surprising binary rewriter surely would not do any
of these replacements, the only reason we have not seen this
break yet is probably that rewriteStrings is only called for
store paths and things that look like store paths (and those
should never overlap nor admit such transitive replacements)

Previously, the garbage collector found runtime roots on Darwin by
shelling out to `lsof -n -w -F n` then parsing the result.
However, this requires an lsof binary and can be extremely slow.
The official Apple lsof returns in a reasonable amount of time,
about 250ms in my tests, but the lsof packaged in nixpkgs is quite slow,
taking about 40 seconds to run the command.
Using libproc directly is about the same speed as Apple lsof,
and allows us to reënable several tests that were disabled on Darwin.

Saves us a bunch of thinking about how to handle symlinks, and prevents
the DNS config from changing on the fly under the build, which may or may
not be a good thing?

* changes:
meson: fix log-dir
manual: build docs with dummy envs
libcmd: install generated headers as well
docs: redo content generation for mdbook and manual
manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).
doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.
This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

throwing exceptions is fine, but throwing exceptions during exception
handling is hard enough to do correctly that we should just forbid it
entirely out of an overabundance of caution. in cases where terminate
is the correct answer the users of Finally must call it manually now.

setting this only on exceptions caused by actual fd access is not
sufficient to diagnose all errors (such as SerialisationError) in
some cases. this usually does not have any negative effects since
those errors will end up killing the process in another way. this
is not a reliable assumption though and we should be using proper
error handling (and closing connections more often, preferring to
close over keeping something open that might be in a weird state)

not needed yet, but returning a resource from the exception handling
path that has ownership of a handle is currently not well-supported.
we could also add a default constructor to Handle, but then we would
also need to change the pool reference to a pointer. eventually that
should be done since now resources can be swapped between pools with
clever moves, but since that's not a problem yet we won't do it now.

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.

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.

This does involve making a large number of destructors able to throw,
because we had to change it high in the class hierarchy. Oh well.

* some things that can throw are marked noexcept
yet the linter seems to think not. Maybe they can't throw in practice.
I would rather not have the UB possibility in pretty obvious cold
paths.
* various default-case-missing complaints
* a fair pile of casts from integer to character, which are in fact
deliberate.
* an instance of <https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/bugprone/move-forwarding-reference.html>
* bugprone-not-null-terminated-result on handing a string to curl in
chunks of bytes. our usage is fine.
* reassigning a unique_ptr by CRIMES instead of using release(), then
using release() and ignoring the result. wild. let's use release() for
its intended purpose.

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)
Change-Id: I37b25517895d0e5e521abc1202fa65624de57ed1
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.
