Previously, the build ID would never flow through channels which
exited.
This patch tracks the buildOne state as part of State and exits avoids
waiting forever for new work.
The code around buildOnly is a bit rough, making this a bit weird to
implement but since it is only used for testing the value of improving
it on its own is a bit questionable.
A reproduce script includes a logline that may resemble:
> using these flags: --arg nixpkgs { outPath = /tmp/build-137689173/nixpkgs/source; rev = "fdc872fa200a32456f12cc849d33b1fdbd6a933c"; shortRev = "fdc872f"; revCount = 273100; } -I nixpkgs=/tmp/build-137689173/nixpkgs/source --arg officialRelease false --option extra-binary-caches https://hydra.nixos.org/ --option system x86_64-linux /tmp/build-137689173/nixpkgs/source/pkgs/top-level/release.nix -A
These are passed along to nix-build and that's fine and dandy, but you can't just copy-paste this as is, as the `{}` introduces a syntax error and the value accompanying `-A` is `''`.
A very naive approach is to just `printf "%q"` the individual args, which makes them safe to copy-paste. Unfortunately, this looks awful due to the liberal usage of slashes:
```
$ printf "%q" '{ outPath = /tmp/build-137689173/nixpkgs/source; rev = "fdc872fa200a32456f12cc849d33b1fdbd6a933c"; shortRev = "fdc872f"; revCount = 273100; }'
\{\ outPath\ =\ /tmp/build-137689173/nixpkgs/source\;\ rev\ =\ \"fdc872fa200a32456f12cc849d33b1fdbd6a933c\"\;\ shortRev\ =\ \"fdc872f\"\;\ revCount\ =\ 273100\;\ \}
```
Alternatively, if we just use `set -x` before we execute nix-build, we'll get the whole invocation in a friendly, copy-pastable format that nicely displays `{}`-enclosed content and preserves the empty arg following `-A`:
```
running nix-build...
using this invocation:
+ nix-build --arg nixpkgs '{ outPath = /tmp/build-138165173/nixpkgs/source; rev = "e0e4484f2c028d2269f5ebad0660a51bbe46caa4"; shortRev = "e0e4484"; revCount = 274008; }' -I nixpkgs=/tmp/build-138165173/nixpkgs/source --arg officialRelease false --option extra-binary-caches https://hydra.nixos.org/ --option system x86_64-linux /tmp/build-138165173/nixpkgs/source/pkgs/top-level/release.nix -A ''
```
By moving the tests subdirectory to t, we gain the ability to run `yath
test` with no arguments from inside `nix develop` in the root of the
the repo.
(`nix develop` is necessary in order to set the proper env vars for
`yath` to find our test libraries.)
This makes the test faster (by removing it and replacing it with a
`TestScmInput` module that exports the `testScmInput` subroutine). Now,
all the input tests can be run in parallel.
Some of the `tests/jobs/*-update.sh` scripts were "broken" (e.g. tests
failed for various reasons on my machine), so I fixed those up as well.

This will make it easier to track specifically where queries are being
made from (assuming a `log_line_prefix` that includes `%a` in the
postgres configuration).
projects.xml and declarative-projects.xml were merged with xmllint, and
then I ran that to convert files
for i in *.xml; do pandoc -s -f docbook -t markdown $i -o ${i/xml/md}; done
The queue runner used to special-case `localhost` as a remote builder:
Rather than using the normal remote-build (using the
`cmdBuildDerivation` command), it was using the (generally less
efficient, except when running against localhost) `cmdBuildPaths`
command because the latter didn't require a privileged Nix user (so made
testing easier − allowing to run hydra in a container in particular).
However:
1. this means that the build loop can follow two discint code paths depending
on the setup, the irony being that the most commonly used one in production
(the “non-localhost” case) isn't the one used in the testsuite (because all
the tests run against a local store);
2. It turns out that the “localhost” version is buggy in relatively obvious
ways − in particular a failure in a fixed-output derivation or a hash
mismatch isn't reported properly;
3. If the “run in a container” use-case is indeed that important, it can be
(partially) restored using a chroot store (which wouldn't behave excactly
the same way of course, but would be more than good-enough for testing)
