1fe66852ff reduce the size of Env by one pointer
since `up` and `values` are both pointer-aligned the type field will
also be pointer-aligned, wasting 48 bits of space on most machines. we
can get away with removing the type field altogether by encoding some
information into the `with` expr that created the env to begin with,
reducing the GC load for the absolutely massive amount of single-entry
envs we create for lambdas. this reduces memory usage of system eval by
quite a bit (reducing heap size of our system eval from 8.4GB to 8.23GB)
and gives similar savings in eval time.

79d3d412ca optimize derivation string parsing
a bunch of derivation strings contain no escape sequences. we can
optimize for this fact by first scanning for the end of a derivation
string and simply returning the contents unmodified if no escape
sequences were found. to make this even more efficient we can also use
BackedStringViews to avoid copies, avoiding heap allocations for
transient data.

Fix segfault on infinite recursion in some cases
This fixes a segfault on infinite function call recursion (rather than
infinite thunk recursion) by tracking the function call depth in
`EvalState`.

Additionally, to avoid printing extremely long stack traces, stack
frames are now deduplicated, with a `(19997 duplicate traces omitted)`
message. This should only really be triggered in infinite recursion
scenarios.

99a691c8a1 don't use istreams in hot paths
istream sentry objects are very expensive for single-character
operations, and since we don't configure exception masks for the
istreams used here they don't even do anything. all we need is
end-of-string checks and an advancing position in an immutable memory
buffer, both of which can be had for much cheaper than istreams allow.

the effect of this change is most apparent on empty stores.

Build IFD in the build store when using eval-store.
Previously, IFDs would be built within the eval store, even though one
is typically using `--eval-store` precisely to *avoid* local builds.

Because the resulting Nix expression must be copied back to the eval
store in order to be imported, this requires the eval store to trust
the build store's signatures.

f4454aac9f nix shell: reflect command line order in PATH order
Prior to this change, Nix would prepend every installable to the PATH
list in order to ensure that installables appeared before the current
PATH from the ambient environment.

With this change, all the installables are still prepended to the PATH,
but in the same order as they appear on the command line. This means
that the first of two packages that expose an executable `hello` would
appear in the PATH first, and thus be executed first.

See the test in the prior commit for a more concrete example.

ea454d8687 Undeprecate isNull
There's no good reason to deprecate it:
- For consistency reasons it should continue to exist, such that all
primitive types have a corresponding `builtins.is*` primop.
- There's no implementation cost to continuing to have this function
- It costs users time to try to migrate away from it, e.g.
  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/219747 and https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/275548
- Using it can give easier-to-read code like `all isNull list`
