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).

Eelco Dolstra 8918bae098 Drop remaining uses of external "tar"
Also, fetchGit now runs in O(1) memory since we pipe the output of
'git archive' directly into unpackTarball() (rather than first reading
it all into memory).

Eelco Dolstra f738cd4d97 More Rust FFI adventures
We can now convert Rust Errors to C++ exceptions. At the Rust->C++ FFI
boundary, Result<T, Error> will cause Error to be converted to and
thrown as a C++ exception.

Eelco Dolstra 045708db43 Make <nix/unpack-channel.nix> a builtin builder
This was the last function using a shell script, so this allows us to
get rid of tar, coreutils, bash etc.

Fix Brotli decompression in 'nix log'
This didn't work anymore since decompression was only done in the
non-coroutine case.

Decompressors are now sinks, just like compressors.

Also fixed a bug in bzip2 API handling (we have to handle BZ_RUN_OK
rather than BZ_OK), which we didn't notice because there was a missing
'throw':

  if (ret != BZ_OK)
      CompressionError("error while compressing bzip2 file");

Make <nix/fetchurl.nix> run in constant memory
E.g.

  nix-build --store ~/my-nix/ -E 'import <nix/fetchurl.nix> { url = https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0nwi996rgq4b914qyx0mv2wq4k80hjac7xilikavagw7kxmn2iiv.nar.xz; sha256 = "0nwi996rgq4b914qyx0mv2wq4k80hjac7xilikavagw7kxmn2iiv"; }'

now runs in 17 MiB (was 70 MiB), while

  nix-build --store ~/my-nix/ -E 'import <nix/fetchurl.nix> { url = https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0nwi996rgq4b914qyx0mv2wq4k80hjac7xilikavagw7kxmn2iiv.nar.xz; sha256 = "0d2fxljdih3nc5dqx41hjzic3141ajil94m8kdbpryq569dpsbvb"; unpack = true; }'

runs in 17 MiB (was 346 MiB).

<nix/buildenv.nix>: Skip non-directory top-level paths
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1934 (at least the "error:
opening directory '/nix/store/...-linux-config-4.4.14': Not a
directory" issue).
