According https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/strstream, it has been
deprecated since C++98! The Clang + Linux build systems to not have it
at all, or at least be hiding it.
We can just use `std::stringstream` instead, I think.
* Print the value in `error: cannot coerce` messages
This extends the `error: cannot coerce a TYPE to a string` message
to print the value that could not be coerced. This helps with debugging
by making it easier to track down where the value is being produced
from, especially in errors with deep or unhelpful stack traces.

This is needed for building CA deriations with a src store / dest store
split. In particular it is needed for Hydra.
https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/838 currently puts realizations,
and thus build outputs, in the local store, but it should not.
In the process, partially undo e89b5bd0bf
in that the ancient < 2.4 version is now supported again by the
serializer again. `LegacySSHStore`, instead of also asserting that the
version is at least 4, just checks that `narHash` is set.
This allows us to better test the serializer in isolation for both
versions (< 4 and >= 4).
AppleDouble files were extracted differently on macOS machines than on other
UNIX's.
Setting `archive_read_set_format_option(this->archive, NULL ,"mac-ext",NULL)`
fixes this problem, since it just ignores the AppleDouble file and treats it as
a normal one.
This was a problem since it caused source archives to be different between macOS
and Linux.

* Factor out the default `MultiCommand` behavior
All the `MultiCommand`s had (nearly) the same behavior when called
without a subcommand.
Factor out this behavior into the `NixMultiCommand` class.
* Display the list of available subcommands when none is specified
Whenever a user runs a command that excepts a subcommand, add the list
of available subcommands to the error message.
* Print the multi-command lists as Markdown lists
This takes more screen real estate, but is also much more readable than
a comma-separated list
without knowing a lot of context, it's not clear who "we" are in that
text. I'm also strongly opposed to adding procedural notes into
a reference manual; it just won't age well.
this change leaves a factual description of the experimental feature and
its purpose.
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.

This makes for more useful manual table of contents, that displays the
information at a glance.
The `nix help-stores` command is kept as-is, even though it will show up
in the manual with the same information as these pages due to the way it
is written as a "`--help`-style" command. Deciding what to do with that
command is left for a later PR.
This change also lists all store types at the top of the respective overview page.

- helps navigating the code as it highlights which files are generated
- makes it less error prone when working incrementally
(although this should be just fixed by building out of tree)
The problem was that f880469173 forgot
that the `#include <sys/xattr.h>` was guarded by an `#ifdef __linux__`.
However, the build failure was only on FreeBSD --- turns out other
platforms have this header too!
The fix therefore uses a new configure check so we properly clear ACLs
on more platforms.
This allows templates such as `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_*` templates and other generators with things like `std::vector<std::optional<T>>`.

`installcheck` doesn't yet work, but the rest of the build can now
happen mostly inside a separate build directory.
Progress on #9342

In commit 0d2163c6dc, the progress bar was hidden
in nix repl because of a regression that caused it to interfere with user
input. Several users like(d) seeing the progress bar in the repl during builds.
Only hiding it while waiting for user input gives us the best of both worlds,
so do just that.
