- move <sys/resource.h> from a __linux__ block to a !_WIN32 block: this
matches what the actual code does, using getrlimit() & setrlimit() in
!_WIN32 blocks
- drop <sys/mount.h>, which is not portable, and it is not used

This change updates the seccomp profile to return ENOTSUP for getxattr
functions family. This reflects the behavior of filesystems that don’t
support extended attributes (or have an option to disable them), e.g.
ext2.
The current behavior is confusing for some programs because we can read
extended attributes, but only get to know that they are not supported
when setting them. In addition to that, ACLs on Linux are implemented
via extended attributes internally and if we don’t return ENOTSUP, acl
library converts file mode to ACL.

The internal "completionCallback" and "listPossibleCallback" helpers
are used only when building with editline; hence, do not build then
when using readline, matching their usage in
"ReadlineLikeInteracter::init()".
This seems to have been the intent all along.
The odd combination of unit tests, but no functional tests caused a
build error where some data for the unit test was source-filtered out.
Apparently. It's unclear to me why that happened, so I'm proposing this
alternate "fix" to get the buildNoTests to pass.
It would be nice to test more configurations, but this mode of building
is on the way out anyway, so let's just make it pass and see what
configurations make sense to test as part of the meson migration.
This should make the test more robust, considering the strange hang
in https://hydra.nixos.org/build/267517233/nixlog/8
`builder` seems to have reached `multi-user.target` before the
SSH connection was established, but this seems to be coincidental.
This does tell us that enforcing this has a minimal cost in terms
of runtime.
Waiting for `multi-user.target` on the client is honestly paranoid,
but flaky tests are very bad for productivity.
Trying to learn more about enigmatic spurious hang at
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/267517233/nixlog/8
- builder1 seems to have started properly
- ssh connection and session are established
- ssh client doesn't exit or client.succeed does not return
for some reason.
Seeing the stdout on the console might give a tiny bit more info.
By syncing with Nixpkgs, we reuse the same derivation, which is
generally a good idea, and has the benefit that it is transitively
a channel blocker.

> nix: disable big-parallel for aws-sdk-cpp
> aws-sdk-cpp only takes ~1m52s on a 4 core machine under 50% load
> which does not justify the requirement on big parallel.
> Tested with `nix-build -A nixVersions.nix_2_6.aws-sdk-cpp`.
> I can finally build nix without requiring a big-parallel machine.
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/227506 (Artturin)
> nix: use [ ] instead null to empty requiredSystemFeatures
> fixes 'error: value is null while a list was expected' with 'nixpkgs.hostPlatform.gcc.arch = "x86_64";'
This was done originally because std::smatch does not accept `const char
*` as iterators. However, this was because we should have been using
std::cmatch instead.
(cherry picked from commit 12a5838d11)
Found by looking for interesting asan reports from the test suite.
What happened here is that name got overwritten, but it was what
actually held the backing memory for the thing it got overwritten by,
which was a by-reference value coming out of std::regex.
Due to absurd reasons I cannot seem to use a string_view iterator here,
so I just copy the string with a longer lifetime instead. idk lol

(cherry-picked from b9b1bbd22f)
* manual: Contributing -> Development, Hacking -> Building
what's currently called "hacking" are really instructions for setting up
a development environment and compiling from source. we have
a contribution guide in the repo (which rightly focuses on GitHub
workflows), and the material in the manual is more about working
on the code itself.
since we'd otherwise have three headings that amount to "Building Nix",
this change also moves the "classic Nix" instructions to the top.
we may want to reorganise this in the future, and bring
contributor-oriented information closer to the code, but for now let's
stick to more accurate names to ease navigation.
Meson uses a venerable GNU convention described in
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Scripts_002dbased-Testsuites.html
in which:
> When no test protocol is in use, an exit status of 0 from a test
> script will denote a success, an exit status of 77 a skipped test, an
> exit status of 99 a hard error, and any other exit status will denote
> a failure.
77 is thus what we want, not 99.
