These versions are more than 3 years old and were very early in the
existence of CA derivations support (which was and is experimental),
so they're unlikely to still exist in the real world. So let's get rid
of support for them.
The previous documentation was inaccurate, stating that it would not update existing inputs. However these inputs will be updated if they are outdated (for example the version of an existing input has been changed). The new text properly reflects this behaviour.
This leads to confusion about what the command does.

- Move the description up
- Remove details about the individual formatters
This method is marked as `noexcept`, but `enqueueFileTransfer()` can
throw `Interrupted` if the user has hit Ctrl-C or if the `ThreadPool`
that the thread is a part of is shutting down.
When working on speeding up the CI,
I triggered a race condition in the creation of the tarball cache.
This code now instead will ensure that half-initialized repositories
are no longer visible to any other nix process.
This is the error message that I got before:
error: opening Git repository '"/Users/runner/.cache/nix/tarball-cache"': could not find repository at '/Users/runner/.cache/nix/tarball-cache'
* docs: specify that flake.lock files are JSON
Recently, I decided that I was going to write some code that would parse
flake.lock files. I went to the Nix Reference Manual in order to look up
information on the format of flake.lock files, and I realized that a key
detail was missing from the Nix Reference Manual: it never says that
flake.lock files are JSON files. This commit fixes that issue.
This commit makes sure to specify that flake.lock files are encoded in
UTF-8. Confusingly, there’s multiple different JSON standards. Neither
ECMA-404, 2nd Edition [1] nor ISO/IEC 21778:2017 [2] mention UTF-8. RFC
8259 requires UTF-8, but only sometimes [3]. I chose to explicitly
specify that flake.lock files are UTF-8 in order to avoid any possible
ambiguities from the JSON standards.

[2]: <https://www.iso.org/standard/71616.html>

Most of the time people run single tests for debugging reason,
so it's a sane default to have them see all the console output.
This commit still retains the section about running tests directly with
meson, because in some debugging cases it's just nice to have less
abstractions i.e. when using strace.
Since #8766, invalid base64 is rendered in errors, but we don't actually
want to show this in the case of an invalid private keys.

This is better for privacy and to avoid leaking netrc credentials in a
MITM attack, but also the assumption that we check the hash no longer
holds in some cases (in particular for impure derivations).
Partially reverts 5db358d4d7.
As a prelude to making "or" work like a normal variable, emit a warning
any time the "fn or" production is used in a context that will change
how it is parsed when that production is refactored.
In detail: in the future, OR_KW will be moved to expr_simple, and the
cursed ExprCall production that is currently part of the expr_select
nonterminal will be generated "normally" in expr_app instead. Any
productions that accept an expr_select will be affected, except for the
expr_app nonterminal itself (because, while expr_app has a production
accepting a bare expr_select, its other production will continue to
accept "fn or" expressions). So all we need to do is emit an appropriate
warning when an expr_simple representing a cursed ExprCall is accepted
in one of those productions without first going through expr_app.
As the warning message describes, users can suppress the warning by
wrapping their problematic "fn or" expressions in parentheses. For
example, "f g or" can be made future-proof by rewriting it as
"f (g or)"; similarly "[ x y or ]" can be rewritten as "[ x (y or) ]",
etc. The parentheses preserve the current grouping behavior, as in the
future "f g or" will be parsed as "(f g) or", just like
"f g anything-else" is grouped. (Mechanically, this suppresses the
warning because the problem ExprCalls go through the
"expr_app : expr_select" production, which resets the cursed status on
the ExprCall.)
