This was used in only one place, namely builtins.fetchurl with an
expected hash. Since this can cause similar issues as described
in #9814 and #9905 with the "locked" flag for fetchTarball and fetchTree,
let's just remove it.
Note that if an expected hash is given and the hash algorithm is
SHA-256, then we will never do a download anyway if the resulting
store path already exists. So removing the "locked" flag will only
cause potentially unnecessary HTTP requests (subject to the tarball
TTL) for non-SHA-256 hashes.
This introduces new utility functions to get elements from JSON — in an ergonomic way and with nice error messages if the expected type does not match.

This splits files and adds new identifiers in preperation for supporting
windows, but no Windows-specific code is actually added yet.

* 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.
This wasn't caught by CI because #10149 and #10152 pass
individually... It doesn't happen on lazy-trees either because we
never try to fetch relative path flakes (#10089).
* Convert all InputScheme::fetch() methods to getAccessor().
* Add checkLocks() method for checking lock attributes.
* Rename fetch() to fetchToStore().
It's better to just check whether the input has all the attributes
needed to consider itself locked (e.g. whether a Git input has an
'rev' attribute).
Also, the 'locked' field was actually incorrect for Git inputs: it
would be set to true even for dirty worktrees. As a result, we got
away with using fetchTree() internally even though fetchTree()
requires a locked input in pure mode. In particular, this allowed
'--override-input' to work by accident.
The fix is to pass a set of "overrides" to call-flake.nix for all the
unlocked inputs (i.e. the top-level flake and any --override-inputs).
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.
A command like
rm -rf ~/.cache/nix/tarball-cache/ ~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite*; nix flake metadata 'git+file:///home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs?rev=9463103069725474698139ab10f17a9d125da859'
was spending about 84% of its runtime in lookup(), specifically in
git_tree_entry_bypath(). (The reading of blobs is less than 3%.)
It appears libgit2 doesn't do a lot of caching of trees, so we now
make sure that when we look up a path, we add all its parents, and all
the immediate children of the parents (since we have them in memory
anyway), to our own cache.
This speed up the command above from 17.2s to 7.8s on my machine.
Fixes (or at least should improve a lot) #9684.
As discussed in the last Nix team meeting (2024-02-95), this method
doesn't belong because `CanonPath` is a virtual/ideal absolute path
format, not used in file systems beyond the native OS format for which a
"current working directory" is defined.
Progress towards #9205
Add several tests for git fetching:
- shallow-cache-separation: can fetch the same repo shallowly and non-shallowly
- shallow-ignore-ref: ensure that ref gets ignored when shallow=true is set
- ssh-shallow: can fetch a git repo via ssh using shallow=1
libgit2 is not capable of using git-credentials helpers yet.
This prevents private repositories from being used.
Based on code that was replaced in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9240
(Introduce libgit2); hence:

Also fingerprint and some preparatory improvements.
Testing is still not up to scratch because lots of logic is duplicated
between the workdir and commit cases.
