Use `std::set<StringContextElem>` not `PathSet` for string contexts Motivation `PathSet` is not correct because string contexts have other forms (`Built` and `DrvDeep`) that are not rendered as plain store paths. Instead of wrongly using `PathSet`, or "stringly typed" using `StringSet`, use `std::std<StringContextElem>`. ----- In support of this change, `NixStringContext` is now defined as `std::std<StringContextElem>` not `std:vector<StringContextElem>`. The old definition was just used by a `getContext` method which was only used by the eval cache. It can be deleted altogether since the types are now unified and the preexisting `copyContext` function already suffices. Summarizing the previous paragraph: Old: - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::vector<StringContextElem>` - `value.hh`: `NixStringContext Value::getContext(...)` - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)` New: - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::set<StringContextElem>` - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)` ---- The string representation of string context elements no longer contains the store dir. The diff of `src/libexpr/tests/value/context.cc` should make clear what the new representation is, so we recommend reviewing that file first. This was done for two reasons: Less API churn: `Value::mkString` and friends did not take a `Store` before. But if `NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}` *do* take a store (as they did before), then we cannot have the `Value` functions use them (in order to work with the fully-structured `NixStringContext`) without adding that argument. That would have been a lot of churn of threading the store, and this diff is already large enough, so the easier and less invasive thing to do was simply make the element `parse` and `to_string` functions not take the `Store` reference, and the easiest way to do that was to simply drop the store dir.
