b8e8f27159 Rename 'resolvedRef' to 'lockedRef'
'resolvedRef' was incorrect, since a resolved ref is one after
registry resolution, which may still be unlocked (e.g. 'nixpkgs' ->
'github:NixOS/nixpkgs').

nix flake check: improve error message if overlay is not a lambda (#8582)
* nix flake check: improve error message if overlay is not a lambda

Suppose you have an overlay like this

    {
      inputs = { /* ... */ };
      outputs = { flake-utils, ... }: flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem
        (system: {
          overlays.default = final: prev: {

          };
        });
    }

then `nix flake check` (correctly) fails because `overlays` are supposed
to have the structure `overlays.<name> = final: prev: exp`. However, the
error-message is a little bit counter-intuitive:

    error: overlay does not take an argument named 'final'

While one might guess where the error actually comes from because the
trace above says `… while checking the overlay 'overlays.x86_64-linux'`
this is still pretty confusing because it complains about an argument
not being named `final` even though that's evidently the case.

With this change, the error-message actually makes it clear what's
wrong:

    [ma27@carsten:~/Projects/nix/tmp]$ nix flake check --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' path:$(pwd)
    error:
           … while checking flake output 'overlays'

             at /nix/store/clgblnxx003hyrq8qkz5ab6kgqkck6qc-source/flake.nix:4:5:

                3|   outputs = { ... }: {
                4|     overlays.x86_64-linux.snens = final: prev: {
                 |     ^
                5|       kek = throw "snens";

           … while checking the overlay 'overlays.x86_64-linux'

             at /nix/store/clgblnxx003hyrq8qkz5ab6kgqkck6qc-source/flake.nix:4:5:

                3|   outputs = { ... }: {
                4|     overlays.x86_64-linux.snens = final: prev: {
                 |     ^
                5|       kek = throw "snens";

           error: overlay is not a lambda, but a set instead

Pass this around instead of `Source &` and `Sink &` directly. This will

To do this ergonomically, we need to expose `RemoteStore::Connection`,
so do that too. Give it some more API docs while we are at it.

Clean up a few things related to profiles (#8526)
- Greatly expand API docs

- Clean up code in misc ways

  - Instead of a complicated single loop on generations, do different
    operations in successive subsequent steps.

  - Avoid `ref` in one place where `&` is fine

  - Just return path instead of mutating an argument in `makeName`

nix flake check: skip derivations for foreign systems (#7759)
`nix flake show` now skips derivations for foreign systems: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6988

This commit borrows from that to implement the same behavior for `nix flake check`.

e997512523 Fix the printing of the installables on nix profile install conflict
- If the element comes from a flake, print the full flakeref (with the
  fragment part) and not just the reference to the flake itself
- If the element doesn't come from a flake, print its store path(s)

This is a bit too verbose, but has the advantages of being correct (and
not crashing), so it's strictly better than the previous situation

a93110ab19 Fix nix print-dev-env & nix develop with drv paths
Fixes #8309

This regression was because both `CmdDevelop` and `CmdPrintDevEnv` were
switched to be `InstallableValueCommand` subclasses, but actually
neither should have been.

The `nixpkgsFlakeRef` method should indeed not be on the base
installable class, because "flake refs" and "nixpkgs" are not
installable-wide notions, but that doesn't mean these commands should
only accept installable values.

f8620758aa display documentation on manifest files separately
it's probably better not to show the manifest file documentation in the
command-specific pages, because these are implementation details that are not really practically useful.

this means no additional hassle for building the manual, but clutters
the table of contents a bit.

85f0cdc370 Use std::set<StringContextElem> not PathSet for string contexts
Motivation

`PathSet` is not correct because string contexts have other forms
(`Built` and `DrvDeep`) that are not rendered as plain store paths.
Instead of wrongly using `PathSet`, or "stringly typed" using
`StringSet`, use `std::std<StringContextElem>`.

-----

In support of this change, `NixStringContext` is now defined as
`std::std<StringContextElem>` not `std:vector<StringContextElem>`. The
old definition was just used by a `getContext` method which was only
used by the eval cache. It can be deleted altogether since the types are
now unified and the preexisting `copyContext` function already suffices.

Summarizing the previous paragraph:

Old:

  - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::vector<StringContextElem>`
  - `value.hh`: `NixStringContext Value::getContext(...)`
  - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)`

New:

  - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::set<StringContextElem>`
  - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)`
----

The string representation of string context elements no longer contains
the store dir. The diff of `src/libexpr/tests/value/context.cc` should
make clear what the new representation is, so we recommend reviewing
that file first. This was done for two reasons:

Less API churn:

`Value::mkString` and friends did not take a `Store` before. But if
`NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}` *do* take a store (as they
did before), then we cannot have the `Value` functions use them (in
order to work with the fully-structured `NixStringContext`) without
adding that argument.

That would have been a lot of churn of threading the store, and this
diff is already large enough, so the easier and less invasive thing to
do was simply make the element `parse` and `to_string` functions not
take the `Store` reference, and the easiest way to do that was to simply
drop the store dir.

Space usage:

Dropping the `/nix/store/` (or similar) from the internal representation
will safe space in the heap of the Nix programming being interpreted. If
the heap contains many strings with non-trivial contexts, the saving
could add up to something significant.

----

The eval cache version is bumped.

The eval cache serialization uses `NixStringContextElem::{parse,
to_string}`, and since those functions are changed per the above, that
means the on-disk representation is also changed.

This is simply done by changing the name of the used for the eval cache
from `eval-cache-v4` to eval-cache-v5`.

----

To avoid some duplication `EvalCache::mkPathString` is added to abstract
over the simple case of turning a store path to a string with just that
string in the context.

Context

This PR picks up where #7543 left off. That one introduced the fully
structured `NixStringContextElem` data type, but kept `PathSet context`
as an awkward middle ground between internal `char[][]` interpreter heap
string contexts and `NixStringContext` fully parsed string contexts.

The infelicity of `PathSet context` was specifically called out during
Nix team group review, but it was agreeing that fixing it could be left
as future work. This is that future work.

A possible follow-up step would be to get rid of the `char[][]`
evaluator heap representation, too, but it is not yet clear how to do
that. To use `NixStringContextElem` there we would need to get the STL
containers to GC pointers in the GC build, and I am not sure how to do
that.

----

PR #7543 effectively is writing the inverse of a `mkPathString`,
`mkOutputString`, and one more such function for the `DrvDeep` case. I
would like that PR to have property tests ensuring it is actually the
inverse as expected.

This PR sets things up nicely so that reworking that PR to be in that
more elegant and better tested way is possible.

d41e1bed5e Experimentally allow forcing nix-daemon trust; use this to test
We finally test the status quo of remote build trust in a number of
ways. We create a new experimental feature on `nix-daemon` to do so.

PR #3921, which improves the situation with trustless remote building,
will build upon these changes. This code / tests was pull out of there
to make this, so everything is easier to review, and in particular we
test before and after so the new behavior in that PR is readily apparent
from the testsuite diff alone.

d93e76fbb8 Start cross-referencing experimental features
- Create a glossary entry for experimental features.

- Have the man page experimental feature notice link `nix-commmand`.

  (Eventually this should be programmed, based on whether the command is
  experimental, and if so what experimental feature does it depend on.)

- Document which installables depend on which experimental features.

  I tried to use the same style (bold warning and block quote) that the
  top of the man page uses.
