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.

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
Per the instruction in the manual, we want to run configure in a
different directory so that we can configure + build for multiple
platforms. That means `config.h` will be in the build directory. This is
just like `Makefile.config`, which already is used with
`$(buildprefix)`.
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.
The problem was since switching to use libgit2, we had a package in our
closure (`http-parser`) that was always trying to build as a shared
object.

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.
