throwing exceptions is fine, but throwing exceptions during exception
handling is hard enough to do correctly that we should just forbid it
entirely out of an overabundance of caution. in cases where terminate
is the correct answer the users of Finally must call it manually now.

In most real world cases, the Link header is set on the redirect, not on
the final file. This regressed in Lix earlier and while new unit tests
were added to cover it, this integration test should probably have also
caught it.

* docs: fix python nix-shell example
This Python code snippet depended on Python 2 which has been marked as insecure in 24.05.
I modernized the example so new users will not be surprised upon copying and pasting the snippet for exploration.

Before, `-lnixutil` was just stuck in `nix-store.pc`, but that doesn't
seem so nice.
This prepares us to distribute `libnixutil` in a separate package if we
want, but it should be a good change either way. I suspect it wasn't
done before because libutil was an extra unstable interface, but I don't
think we need worry about that. *All* the C++ is less stable than the C
(or that's the goal at least).
For what it's worth, Lix also created this pkg-config file *en passant*
during their rename:
c97e17144e (diff-3c4f60cc44a0e35444c7f45331cfa50f76637118)
This re-enables support for older bwdgc versions without complicating
the code too much.
Coroutines generally only interfere with GC during source filtering,
so it's not too bad of a regression on older bdwgc.
This seems preferable over conditional compilation to enable the patch
etc; we've already spent a lot of complexity budget on this GC-coroutine
interaction...
Manually tested by printing to stderr in both branches (sp in os
stack, or not), and triggering a GC in a filterSource function,
e.g.:
let
generateTree = n: if n == 0 then "ha" else { left = generateTree (n - 1); right = generateTree (n - 1); };
in
builtins.deepSeq (generateTree 18) ...
Note that the darwin still uses the strategy of disabling GC, despite
having an implementation that compiles. The proper solution will be
enabled and tested later.
