Previously, `state.mkList()` would set the type of the value to tList
and allocate the list vector, but it would not initialize the values
in the list. This has two problems:
* If an exception occurs, the list is left in an undefined state.
* More importantly, for multithreaded evaluation, if a value
transitions from thunk to non-thunk, it should be final (i.e. other
threads should be able to access the value safely).
To address this, there now is a `ListBuilder` class (analogous to
`BindingsBuilder`) to build the list vector prior to the call to
`Value::mkList()`. Typical usage:
auto list = state.buildList(size);
for (auto & v : list)
v = ... set value ...;
vRes.mkList(list);
* Add regression test
* Fix 'no repo' test so it doesn't succeed if the data is still in cache
* Use git_revparse_single inside git-utils instead of reimplementing the same logic.
Add `runHook preInstallCheck` to the overriden `installCheckPhase` used
for the non-build case.
In particular, this allow the fix from 2a34510776
to also apply there.
Previously, errors while printing values in `nix repl` would be printed
in `«error: ...»` brackets rather than displayed normally:
```
nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler
«error: Package ‘python-2.7.18.7’ in /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/2.7/default.nix:335 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.»
```
Now, errors will be displayed normally if they're emitted at the
top-level of an expression:
```
nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler
error:

```
Errors emitted in nested structures (like e.g. when printing `nixpkgs`)
will still be printed in brackets.
Strings are now printed directly when evaluated by `:print`, rather than
escaped. This makes it easier to debug multi-line strings or strings
containing quotes, like the results of `builtins.readFile`,
`lib.toShellArg`, and so on.
```

"cuppy\ndog\ncity"
nix-repl> :p "cuppy\ndog\ncity"

Fixes this very long warning, which I'll only include the first line of:
/nix/store/8wrjhrycpshhc3b41xmjwvgqr2m3yajq-libcxx-16.0.6-dev/include/c++/v1/__memory/construct_at.h:66:5: warning: destructor called on non-final 'RegexMatcher' that has virtual functions but non-virtual destructor [-Wdelete-non-abstract-non-virtual-dtor]
__loc->~_Tp();
`nix eval` forces values and prints derivations as attribute sets, so
commands that print derivations (e.g. `nix eval nixpkgs#bash`) will
infinitely loop and segfault.
Printing derivations as `.drv` paths makes `nix eval` complete as
expected. Further work is needed, but this is better than a segfault.
