20ff61ab25 nix: Reserve shebang line syntax and only parse double backtick quotes
Being restrictive about syntax leaves opportunity to improve the
syntax and functionality later.

cc46ea1630 Make nix path-info --json return an object not array
Before it returned a list of JSON objects with store object information,
including the path in each object. Now, it maps the paths to JSON
objects with the metadata sans path.

This matches how `nix derivation show` works.

Quite hillariously, none of our existing functional tests caught this
change to `path-info --json` though they did use it. So just new
functional tests need to be added.

`publicKeys` attribute of the git fetcher.

document the store concept (#9206)
* document the store concept and its purpose

reword the glossary to link to more existing information instead of
repeating it.

move the store documentation to the top of the table of contents, in
front of the Nix language. this will provide a natural place to
document other aspects of the store as well as the various store types.

move the package management section after the Nix language and before
Advanced Topics to follow the pattern to layer more complex concepts on
top of each other.

this structure of the manual will also nudge beginners to learn Nix
bottom-up and hopefully make more likely that they understand underlying
concepts first before delving into complex use cases that may or may not
be easy to implement with what's currently there.

[John adds this note] The sort of beginner who likes to dive straight into reference documentation should prefer this approach. Conversely, the sort of beginner who would prefer the opposite top-down approach of trying to solve problems before they understand everything that is going on is better off reading other tutorial/guide material anyways, and will just "random-access" the reference manual as a last resort. For such random-access the order doesn't matter, so this restructure doesn't make them any worse off.

fa9642ec45 nix-shell: support single quotes in shebangs

remove Basic Package Management section (#7974)
this is the first thing most beginners see, and it misleads them into
assuming `nix-env` is appropriate for doing anything but setting and
reverting profile generations.

this chapter is the root of most evil around the ecosystem, and today we
finally close it for good.

* docker: publish images to ghcr.io

docker.com announced their intention to remove the free plan used by

I'm sure that we'll adjust the implementation over time, but this

a tart VM.

Allow CLI to pass environment variables to FOD builder (#8830)
Add a new experimental `impure-env` setting that is a key-value list of
environment variables to inject into FOD derivations that specify the
corresponding `impureEnvVars`.

This allows clients to make use of this feature (without having to change the
environment of the daemon itself) and might eventually deprecate the current
behaviour (pick whatever is in the environment of the daemon) as it's more
principled and might prevent information leakage.

2f0b508c29 Get rid of bootstrap.sh
For people working on Nix with `nix develop`, it's better to just use
`autoreconfPhase` and `configurePhase`, which is standard Nixpkgs / nix
shell make from Nixpkgs practice --- it is good to emphasize the degree
to which Nix is *just* a regular C++ project which can be worked on in
the regular way.

(For people running `nix-shell`, the story is similar, except
`configurePhase` would use non-writable store paths, which matters for
hte times we use output paths before `make install`, so I kept the
existing `./configure ...` instruction.)

For people building Nix without Nix (e.g. packaging it for another
distro) they also don't need `bootstrap.sh`, and can just run
`autoreconf -vfi` directly. (More likely, they have their own idioms to
do this just as we have `autoreconfPhase`.)

doc: Slight reword of "interpolated expression" in paragraph
I was sleepy and confused that "interpolated expression" was a new type of thing at first. This nudges the reader to understand that its just a regular expression, and these conditions are imposed by the interpolation operation.
