- This way we improve error messages
on infinite recursion
- Demo:
```nix
let
x = builtins.fetchMercurial x;
in
x
```
- Before:
```bash
$ nix-instantiate --show-trace --strict
error: infinite recursion encountered
```
- After:
```bash
nix-instantiate --show-trace --strict
error: infinite recursion encountered
at /data/github/kamadorueda/test/default.nix:2:7:
1| let
2| x = builtins.fetchMercurial x;
| ^
3| in
```

We can actually just load nss ourselves and call in nss to configure it
and we don't need to run a dummy query entirely to have nss load nss_dns
as a side-effect.

The min bound written corresponds to the date of the commit that
introduced the change, but it only got merged on master some weeks
later. Since the version is essentially the commit date, that means that
there’s a whole range of commits on master (including the current
`nixUnstable`) that have a higher version but don’t contain the required
change.
This fixes a bug in the garbage collector where if a path
/nix/store/abcd-foo is valid, but we do a
isValidPath("/nix/store/abcd-foo.lock") first, then a negative entry
for /nix/store/abcd is added to pathInfoCache, so /nix/store/abcd-foo
is subsequently considered invalid and deleted.
(where "referrers" includes the reverse of derivation outputs and
derivers). Now we do a full traversal to look if we can reach any
root. If not, all paths reached can be deleted.
The garbage collector no longer blocks other processes from
adding/building store paths or adding GC roots. To prevent the
collector from deleting store paths just added by another process,
processes need to connect to the garbage collector via a Unix domain
socket to register new temporary roots.
This reverts some parts of commit
8430a8f086 which was trying to rethrow
some exceptions while we weren’t in the context of a `catch` block,
causing some weird “terminate called without an active exception”
errors.
Fix#5368
Noticed this minor logging deficiency when debugged --disable-shared
build:
LD
AR
LD
CXX src/libstore/local-store.o
After the change build is logged as expected:
LD src/libmain/libnixmain.a
LD src/libfetchers/libnixfetchers.a
AR src/libmain/libnixmain.a
CXX src/libstore/local-store.o
In https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5350 we noticed link failures
pkgsStatic.nixUnstable. Adding explicit dependency on libutil fixes
libstore-tests linking.
