HintFmt(string) invokes the HintFmt("%s", literal) constructor,
which is not what we want here. Add a constructor with a proper name
and call that.
Next step: rename all the other ones to HintFmt::literal(string).

Fixes an instance of
nix: src/libutil/util.cc:139: nix::Path nix::canonPath(PathView, bool): Assertion `path != ""' failed.
... which I've been getting in one of my shells for some reason.
I have yet to find out why TMPDIR was empty, but it's no reason for
Nix to break.
the parser treats a plain \r as a newline, error reports do not. this
can lead to interesting divergences if anything makes use of this
feature, with error reports pointing to wrong locations in the input (or
even outside the input altogether).
When reviewing old PRs, I found that #9997 adds some code to ensure one
particular assert is always present. But, removing asserts isn't
something we do in our own release builds either in the flake here or in
nixpkgs, and is plainly a bad idea that increases support burden,
especially if other distros make bad choices of build flags in their Nix
packaging.
For context, the assert macro in the C standard is defined to do nothing
if NDEBUG is set.
There is no way in our build system to set -DNDEBUG without manually
adding it to CFLAGS, so this is simply a configuration we do not use.
Let's ban it at compile time.
I put this preprocessor directive in src/libutil.cc because it is not
obvious where else to put it, and it seems like the most logical file
since you are not getting a usable nix without it.
It is possible to exfiltrate a file descriptor out of the build sandbox
of FODs, and use it to modify the store path after it has been
registered.
To avoid that issue, don't register the output of the build, but a copy
of it (that will be free of any leaked file descriptor).

"hash type" -> "hash algorithm" in all comments, documentation, and
messages.
ht -> ha, [Hh]ashType -> [HhashAlgo] for all local variables and
function arguments. No API change is made.
Continuation of 5334c9c792 and 837b889c41.
This seems to have found one actual bug in fs-sink.cc: the symlink case
was falling into the regular file case, which can't possibly be
intentional, right?
- `nix store add` supports text hashing
With functional test ensuring it matches `builtins.toFile`.
- Factored-out flags for both commands
- Move all common reusable flags to `libcmd`
- They are not part of the *definition* of the CLI infra, just a usag
of it.
- The `libstore` flag couldn't go in `args.hh` in libutil anyways,
would be awkward for it to live alone
- Shuffle around `Cmd*` hierarchy so flags for deprecated commands don't
end up on the new ones
This fixes warnings like
warning: Ignoring setting 'auto-allocate-uids' because experimental feature 'auto-allocate-uids' is not enabled
warning: Ignoring setting 'impure-env' because experimental feature 'configurable-impure-env' is not enabled
when using the daemon and the user didn't actually set those settings.
Note: this also hides those settings from `nix config show`, but that
seems a good thing.
`canonPath` and `absPath` work on native paths, and so should switch
between supporting Unix paths and Windows paths accordingly.
The templating is because `CanonPath`, which shares the implementation,
should always be Unix style. It is the pure "nix-native" path type for
virtual file operations --- it is part of Nix's "business logic", and
should not vary with the host OS accordingly.
The core `CanonPath` constructors were using `absPath`, but `absPath` in
some situations does IO which is not appropriate. It turns out that
these constructors avoided those situations, and thus were pure, but it
was far from obvious this was the case.
To remedy the situation, abstract the core algorithm from `canonPath` to
use separately in `CanonPath` without any IO. No we know by-construction
that those constructors are pure.
That leaves `CanonPath::fromCWD` as the only operation which uses IO /
is impure. Add docs on it, and `CanonPath` as a whole, explaining the
situation.
This is also necessary to support Windows paths on windows without
messing up `CanonPath`. But, I think it is good even without that.

There is no longer an `importTarball` method. Instead, there is a
`unpackTarfileToSink` function (back in libutil). The caller can use
thisw with the `getParseSink` method we added in the last commit easily
enough.
In addition, tarball cache functionality is separated from `git-utils`
and moved into `tarball-cache`. This ensures we are separating mechanism
and policy.
There is now a separation of:
1. A `FileSystemObjectSink` for writing to git repos
2. Adapting libarchive to use that parse sink.
The prepares a proper separation of concerns.
