jade e3b702fa22 Actually try making a userns before assuming they don't work
If unprivileged userns are *believed* to be disabled (such as with
"kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 0"), Lix would previously *give up*
on trying to use a user namespace before actually trying it, even if, in
cases such as unprivileged_userns_clone, it would actually be allowed
since Nix has CAP_SYS_ADMIN when running as daemon.

(see, e.g. 25d4709a4f)

We changed it to actually try it first, and then diagnose possible
causes, and also to be more loud about the whole thing, using warnings
instead of debugs. These warnings will only print on the first build run
by the daemon, which is, tbh, eh, shrug.

This is what led to us realizing that no-userns was a poorly exercised
condition.

eldritch horrors d55b158e24 libutil: make rewriteStrings sound
this is used in CA rewriting, replacement of placeholders in
derivations, generating scripts for devShells, and some more
places. in all of these transitive replacements are unsound,
and overlapping replacements would be as well. there even is
a test that transitive replacements do not happen (in the CA
RewriteSink suite), but none for overlapping replacements. a
minimally surprising binary rewriter surely would not do any
of these replacements, the only reason we have not seen this
break yet is probably that rewriteStrings is only called for
store paths and things that look like store paths (and those
should never overlap nor admit such transitive replacements)

Artemis Tosini c03de0df62 gc: Find roots using libproc on Darwin
Previously, the garbage collector found runtime roots on Darwin by
shelling out to `lsof -n -w -F n` then parsing the result.
However, this requires an lsof binary and can be extremely slow.

The official Apple lsof returns in a reasonable amount of time,
about 250ms in my tests, but the lsof packaged in nixpkgs is quite slow,
taking about 40 seconds to run the command.

Using libproc directly is about the same speed as Apple lsof,
and allows us to reënable several tests that were disabled on Darwin.

eldritch horrors 725f5cd358 docs: redo content generation for mdbook and manual
manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).

doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.

This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

eldritch horrors 45623f077f libutil: drop Fs{Source,Sink}::good
setting this only on exceptions caused by actual fd access is not
sufficient to diagnose all errors (such as SerialisationError) in
some cases. this usually does not have any negative effects since
those errors will end up killing the process in another way. this
is not a reliable assumption though and we should be using proper
error handling (and closing connections more often, preferring to
close over keeping something open that might be in a weird state)

eldritch horrors f402c45cfa libutil: allow graceful dropping of Pool::Handle
not needed yet, but returning a resource from the exception handling
path that has ownership of a handle is currently not well-supported.
we could also add a default constructor to Handle, but then we would
also need to change the pool reference to a pointer. eventually that
should be done since now resources can be swapped between pools with
clever moves, but since that's not a problem yet we won't do it now.

eldritch horrors dd06f9b792 libutil: make ~Finally noexcept(false)
this is supposed to act like a finally block does in other languages. a
finally block should be able to throw exceptions of its own rather than
just crashing the entire program when it throws it own exceptions. even
in the rare case of a finally throwing an unexpected exception it might
be better to report the exception from Finally instead of the original,
at least that can keep our program running instead of letting it crash.

if a scope owning a resource does not gracefully drop that resource
while handling exceptions from deeper down the call stack we should
assume the resource is invalid state and drop it. currently it *is*
true that such cases do not cause resources to be freed, but thanks
to validator misuses this has so far not caused any larger problem.

jade edba570664 HOT SALE: 15% off your build times!
This was achieved by running maintainers/buildtime_report.sh on the
build directory of a meson build, then asking "why the heck is json
eating our build times", and strategically moving the json using bits
out of widely included headers.

It turns out that putting literally any metrics whatsoever into the
build had immediate and predictable results.

Results are 1382.5s frontend time -> 1175.4s frontend time, back end
time approximately invariant.

John Ericson 3d065192c0 Overhaul completions, redo #6693 (#8131)
As I complained in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6784#issuecomment-1421777030 (a
comment on the wrong PR, sorry again!), #6693 introduced a second
completions mechanism to fix a bug. Having two completion mechanisms
isn't so nice.

As @thufschmitt also pointed out, it was a bummer to go from `FlakeRef`
to `std::string` when collecting flake refs. Now it is `FlakeRefs`
again.

The underlying issue that sought to work around was that completion of
arguments not at the end can still benefit from the information from
latter arguments.

To fix this better, we rip out that change and simply defer all
completion processing until after all the (regular, already-complete)
arguments have been passed.

In addition, I noticed the original completion logic used some global
variables. I do not like global variables, because even if they save
lines of code, they also obfuscate the architecture of the code.

I got rid of them  moved them to a new `RootArgs` class, which now has
`parseCmdline` instead of `Args`. The idea is that we have many argument
parsers from subcommands and what-not, but only one root args that owns
the other per actual parsing invocation. The state that was global is
now part of the root args instead.

This did, admittedly, add a bunch of new code. And I do feel bad about
that. So I went and added a lot of API docs to try to at least make the
current state of things clear to the next person.

--

This is needed for RFC 134 (tracking issue #7868). It was very hard to
modularize `Installable` parsing when there were two completion
arguments. I wouldn't go as far as to say it is *easy* now, but at least
it is less hard (and the completions test finally passed).

vfork confers a large performance advantage over fork, measured locally
at 16µs per vfork agains 90µs per fork. however nix *almost always*
follows a vfork up with an execve-family call, melting the performance
advantage from 6x to only 15%. in most of those cases it's doing things
that are undefined behavior (like manipulating the heap, or even
throwing exceptions and trashing the parent process stack).

most notably the one place that could benefit from the vfork performance
improvement is linux derivation sandbox setup—which doesn't use vfork.
