5b8c1deb18 fetchTree: Allow fetching plain files
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.

Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:

- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
  file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
  `https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
  `https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
  the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
  the `tarball+` part removed)

Fix #3785

This reduces compilation time by ~15 seconds (CPU time).

77007d4eab Improve ref validity checking in fetchGit
The previous regex was too strict and did not match what git was allowing. It
could lead to `fetchGit` not accepting valid branch names, even though they
exist in a repository (for example, branch names containing `/`, which are
pretty standard, like `release/1.0` branches).

The new regex defines what a branch name should **NOT** contain. It takes the
definitions from `refs.c` in https://github.com/git/git and `git help
check-ref-format` pages.

This change also introduces a test for ref name validity checking, which
compares the result from Nix with the result of `git check-ref-format --branch`.

462421d345 Backport libfetchers from the flakes branch
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.

  fetchTree {
    type = "git";
    url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
    ref = "some-branch";
    rev = "abcdef...";
  }

The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.

All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).

This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
