Eelco Dolstra bbe97dff8b Make the Store API more type-safe
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which
is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures
that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like
<store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like
buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path
by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix.

Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves
some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a
helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop()
function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics:
after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function
on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original
value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the
value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types.

Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern
(e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).

This allows distinguishing between an empty value and no value.

nix upgrade-nix: Improve error message if 'nix' is not in a profile
E.g.

  $ nix upgrade-nix
  error: directory '/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst/bin' does not appear to be part of a Nix profile

instead of

  $ nix upgrade-nix
  error: '/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst' is not a symlink

upgrade-nix: resolve profile symlinks
The profile present in PATH is not necessarily the actual profile
location. User profiles are generally added as $HOME/.nix-profile
in which case the indirect profile link needs to be resolved first.

/home/user/.nix-profile -> /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile -> profile-15-link
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-14-link -> /nix/store/hyi4kkjh3bwi2z3wfljrkfymz9904h62-user-environment
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-15-link -> /nix/store/6njpl3qvihz46vj911pwx7hfcvwhifl9-user-environment

To upgrade nix here we want /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-16-link
instead of /home/user/.nix-profile-1-link. The latter is not a gcroot
and would be garbage collected, resulting in a broken profile.

Fixes #2175

Move EvalState from the stack to the heap
EvalState contains a few counters (e.g. nrValues) that increase
quickly enough that they end up being interpreted as pointers by the
garbage collector. Moving it to the heap makes them invisible to the
garbage collector.

This reduces the max RSS doing 100 evaluations of
nixos.tests.firefox.x86_64-linux.drvPath from 455 MiB to 292 MiB.

Note: ideally, allocations would be much further up in the 64-bit
address space to reduce the odds of an integer being misinterpreted as
a pointer. Maybe we can use some linker magic to move the .bss segment
to a higher address.

Add 'nix upgrade-nix' command
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a
store path obtained from

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix

which is the same store path that the installer at
https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses.

The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS,
or when installed outside of the Nix store).
