this lets us set per-test-program environment variables rather than only
a single, global default. this was supported in nix originally but
might've gone partially missing in the upstream backports process?

I think it is bad for these reasons when `tests/` contains a mix of
functional and integration tests
- Concepts is harder to understand, the documentation makes a good
unit vs functional vs integration distinction, but when the
integration tests are just two subdirs within `tests/` this is not
clear.
- Source filtering in the `flake.nix` is more complex. We need to
filter out some of the dirs from `tests/`, rather than simply pick
the dirs we want and take all of them. This is a good sign the
structure of what we are trying to do is not matching the structure
of the files.
With this change we have a clean:
```shell-session
$ git show 'HEAD:tests'
tree HEAD:tests
functional/
installer/
nixos/
```
(cherry picked from commit 68c81c7375)
Grouping our tests should make it easier to understand the intent than
one long poorly-arranged list. It also is convenient for running just
the tests for a specific component when working on that component.
We need at least one test group so this isn't dead code; I decided to
collect the tests for the `ca-derivations` and `dynamic-derivations`
experimental features in groups. Do
```bash
make ca.test-group -jN
```
and
```bash
make dyn-drv.test-group -jN
```
to try running just them.
I originally did this as part of #8397 for being able to just the local
overlay store alone. I am PRing it separately now so we can separate
general infra from new features.

switch statements must now match all enum values or disable the
warning.
Explicit is good. This has helped us find two bugs, after solving
another one by debugging.
From now on, adding to an enum will raise errors where they are
not explicitly handled, which is good for productivity, and helps
us decide the correct behavior in all usages.
Notably still excluded from this though are the cases where the
warning is disabled by local pragmas.
fromTOML.cc did not build despite a top-level pragma, so I've had
to resort to a makefile solution for that.
Use `set -u` and `set -o pipefail` to catch accidental mistakes and
failures more strongly.
- `set -u` catches the use of undefined variables
- `set -o pipefail` catches failures (like `set -e`) earlier in the
pipeline.
This makes the tests a bit more robust. It is nice to read code not
worrying about these spurious success paths (via uncaught) errors
undermining the tests. Indeed, I caught some bugs doing this.
There are a few tests where we run a command that should fail, and then
search its output to make sure the failure message is one that we
expect. Before, since the `grep` was the last command in the pipeline
the exit code of those failing programs was silently ignored. Now with
`set -o pipefail` it won't be, and we have to do something so the
expected failure doesn't accidentally fail the test.
To do that we use `expect` and a new `expectStderr` to check for the
exact failing exit code. See the comments on each for why.
`grep -q` is replaced with `grepQuiet`, see the comments on that
function for why.
`grep -v` when we just want the exit code is replaced with `grepInverse,
see the comments on that function for why.
`grep -q -v` together is, surprise surprise, replaced with
`grepQuietInverse`, which is both combined.

Building without tests is useful for bootstrapping with a smaller footprint
or running the tests in a separate derivation. Otherwise, we do compile and
run them.
This isn't fine grained as to allow picking `check` but not `installcheck`
or vice versa, but it's good enough for now.
I've tried to use Nixpkgs' `checkInputs`, but those inputs weren't discovered
properly by the configure script. We can emulate its behavior very well though.
For static builds, we need to propagate all the static library
dependencies to the link of the program. E.g. if libstore-tests-exe
depends on libnixstore-tests, and libnixstore-tests depends on
libstore, then libstore-tests-exe needs to link against libstore.

First, logic is consolidated in the shell script instead of being spread
between them and makefiles. That makes understanding what is going on a
little easier.
This would not be super interesting by itself, but it gives us a way to
debug tests more easily. *That* in turn I hope is much more compelling.
See the updated manual for details.

gives 2-5% performance improvement across a board of tests.
LTO is broken when using clang; some libs link fine while others crash
the linker with a segfault in the llvm linker plugin. 🙁
Restart the tests (at most once) on `unexpected EOF` errors.
This is truly ugly, but might prevent half of the CI runs to fail
because of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3605
It's a second attempt to merge the change. Previous attempt
was reverted in b976b34a5b.
Since then underlying failure exposed by original change was
fixed by https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5354.
Below goes description of original change:
The link failure happens on a system with stable nix-2.3.15
installed in /usr/lib64 (it's libutil.so API differs from master):
```
LANG=C make V=1
g++ -o /home/slyfox/dev/git/nix/src/libstore/libnixstore.so \
-shared -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,--no-copy-dt-needed-entries \
src/libstore/binary-cache-store.o ... src/libstore/uds-remote-store.o \
-lsqlite3 -lcurl -lsodium -pthread -ldl -lseccomp -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-soname=libnixstore.so
-Wl,-rpath,/home/slyfox/dev/git/nix/src/libutil -Lsrc/libutil -lnixutil
ld: src/libstore/binary-cache-store.o: in function `nix::BinaryCacheStore::BinaryCacheStore(
std::map<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, ...
nix/src/libstore/binary-cache-store.cc:30: undefined reference to `nix::readFile(
std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)' ...
...
```
This happens due to `-L/usr/lib64 -Lsrc/libutil` search path ordering.
The change turns it into `-Lsrc/libutil -L/usr/lib64`.

Previously, the build system used uname(1) output when it wanted to
check the operating system it was being built for, which meant that it
didn't take into-account cross-compilation when the build and host
operating systems were different.
To fix this, instead of consulting uname output, we consult the host
triple, specifically the third "kernel" part.
For "kernel"s with stable ABIs, like Linux or Cygwin, we can use a
simple ifeq to test whether we're compiling for that system, but for
other platforms, like Darwin, FreeBSD, or Solaris, we have to use a
more complicated check to take into account the version numbers at the
end of the "kernel"s. I couldn't find a way to just strip these
version numbers in GNU Make without shelling out, which would be even
more ugly IMO. Because these checks differ between kernels, and the
patsubst ones are quite fiddly, I've added variables for each host OS
we might want to check to make them easier to reuse.
Requires a slight update to the test infra to work properly, but
having the possibility to group tests that way makes the whole thing
quite cleaner imho
In cross, CXX will look like aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-g++. We could
run some command to check what kind of compiler it is, but for now we
can just check if g++ is anywhere in the string. I couldn’t find any
"ends with" for makefile, so it can be anywhere in CXX.
This combines the *.o into a big .o producing one translation unit.
This preserve our unused static initializers, as specified in the C++
standard:
If no variable or function is odr-used from a given translation
unit, the non-local variables defined in that translation unit may
never be initialized (this models the behavior of an on-demand
dynamic library).
Note that this is very similar to how the --whole-archive flag works.
One advantage of this is that users of the final .a library don’t have
to worry about specifying --whole-archive, or that we have unused
static initializers at all!
autotools-based systems usually allow user to
append own LDFLAGS like
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=gnu"
at ./configure stage
This change plumbs LDFLAGS through similar to existing CXXFLAGS variable.
