This will allow us to factor out logic, which is currently scattered
inline, into several reusable instances
The tests are also updated to support versioning. Currently all Worker
and Serve protocol tests are using the minimum version, since no
version-specific serialisers have been created yet. But in subsequent
commits when that changes, we will test individual versions to ensure
complete coverage.
To start, it is just a clone of the common protocol. But now that we
have the separate protocol implementations, we can add versioning
information without the versions of one protocol leaking into another.
Using the infrastructure from the previous commit, we don't have to
duplicate code for shared behavior.
Motivation: No more perverse incentives. [0] did some awkward things
because the serialisers did not store the version. I don't want anyone
making changes to be pushed towards keeping the serialization logic with
the core data types just because it's easier or the alternative is
tedious.
The actual versioning of the Worker and Serve protocol serialisers
(Common remains unversioned as the underlying mini-protocols are not
versioned) will happen in subsequent commits / PRs.

Copy the relevant tests to ensure the new interfaces added in the last
commit are tested.
Perhaps I should try to deduplicat these tests some more. However its
not clear how to do that outside of a big ugly C++ macro.
https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/main/docs/advanced.md has some
stuff but it is cumbersome and I didn't figure it out yet.
This is done in a separate commit in order to be sure that the first
commit really didn't change any behavior; if we changed the
implementation and the tests at once, it would be harder to tell whether
or not some behavioral changes slipped in what is supposed to be a "pure
refactor".

This has been the behaviour before Nix 2.4. It was dropped in a rewrite
in 759947bf72, allowing the creation of
store paths that aren't considered valid by older Nix versions or other
Nix tooling.
Nix 2.4 didn't ship in NixOS until 22.05, and stdenv.mkDerivation in
nixpkgs drops leading periods since April 2022, so it's unlikely anyone
is relying on the current lax behaviour.
Closes#9091.

This was somewhat of a false alarm. The problem was not that the
protocol implementation actually failed to round trip, but that two of
the fields were ignored entirely --- not serialized and deserialized at
all.
For reference, those fields were added in
fa68eb367e.
We use the same nested map representation we used for goals, again in
order to save space. We might someday want to combine with `inputDrvs`,
by doing `V = bool` instead of `V = std::set<OutputName>`, but we are
not doing that yet for sake of a smaller diff.
The ATerm format for Derivations also needs to be extended, in addition
to the in-memory format. To accomodate this, we added a new basic
versioning scheme, so old versions of Nix will get nice errors. (And
going forward, if the ATerm format changes again the errors will be even
better.)
`parsedStrings`, an internal function used as part of parsing
derivations in A-Term format, used to consume the final `]` but expect
the initial `[` to already be consumed. This made for what looked like
unbalanced brackets at callsites, which was confusing. Now it consumes
both which is hopefully less confusing.
As part of testing, we also created a unit test for the A-Term format for
regular non-experimental derivations too.

Continue with the characterization testing idioms begun in

We want to be able to write down `foo.drv^bar.drv^baz`:
`foo.drv^bar.drv` is the dynamic derivation (since it is itself a
derivation output, `bar.drv` from `foo.drv`).
To that end, we create `Single{Derivation,BuiltPath}` types, that are
very similar except instead of having multiple outputs (in a set or
map), they have a single one. This is for everything to the left of the
rightmost `^`.
`NixStringContextElem` has an analogous change, and now can reuse
`SingleDerivedPath` at the top level. In fact, if we ever get rid of
`DrvDeep`, `NixStringContextElem` could be replaced with
`SingleDerivedPath` entirely!
Important note: some JSON formats have changed.
We already can *produce* dynamic derivations, but we can't refer to them
directly. Today, we can merely express building or example at the top
imperatively over time by building `foo.drv^bar.drv`, and then with a
second nix invocation doing `<result-from-first>^baz`, but this is not
declarative. The ethos of Nix of being able to write down the full plan
everything you want to do, and then execute than plan with a single
command, and for that we need the new inductive form of these types.

Whereas `ContentAddressWithReferences` is a sum type complex because different
varieties support different notions of reference, and
`ContentAddressMethod` is a nested enum to support that,
`ContentAddress` can be a simple pair of a method and hash.
`ContentAddress` does not need to be a sum type on the outside because
the choice of method doesn't effect what type of hashes we can use.

This is good in general, but in particular ensures when we heavily
refactor it in the next commit there is less likelihood for an
unintentional change in behavior to sneak in.
They were improperly added in 8a93b5a551.
They were not `.gitignore`d because they were stale in that commit --
build artifacts no longer used that name by then and so `.gitignore` was
updated accordingly.
In other words, use a plain `ContentAddress` not
`ContentAddressWithReferences` for `DerivationOutput::CAFixed`.
Supporting fixed output derivations with (fixed) references would be a
cool feature, but it is out of scope at this moment.
As requested by @roberth, it is good to call out the specific instances
we care about, which is `!` for the RPC protocols, and `^` for humans.
This doesn't take advantage of parametricity as much, but since the
human and computer interfaces are good to decouple anyways (we don't
care if they drift further apart over time in the slightest) some
separation and slight duplication is fine.
Also, unit test both round trips.
This is non-breaking change in the to-JSON direction. This *is* a
breaking change in the from-JSON direction, but we don't care, as that
is brand new in this PR.
`nix show-derivation --help` currently has the sole public documentation
of this format, it is updated accordingly.
Fixes#3898
The entire `BinaryCaches` row used to get replaced after it became
stale according to the `timestamp` column. In a concurrent scenario,
this leads to foreign key conflicts as different instances of the
in-process `state.caches` cache now differ, with the consequence that
the older process still tries to use the `id` number of the old record.
Furthermore, this phenomenon appears to have caused the cache for
actual narinfos to be erased about every week, while the default
ttl for narinfos was supposed to be 30 days.
`DerivedPath::Built` and `DerivationGoal` were previously using a
regular set with the convention that the empty set means all outputs.
But it is easy to forget about this rule when processing those sets.
Using `OutputSpec` forces us to get it right.
