Miscellaneous improvements for positioning in eval-errors

libexpr: misc improvements for proper error position
When working on some more complex Nix code, there are sometimes rather
unhelpful or misleading error messages, especially if coerce-errors are
thrown.

This patch is a first steps towards improving that. I'm happy to file
more changes after that, but I'd like to gather some feedback first.

To summarize, this patch does the following things:

* Attrsets (a.k.a. `Bindings` in `libexpr`) now have a `Pos`. This is
  helpful e.g. to identify which attribute-set in `listToAttrs` is
  invalid.

* The `Value`-struct has a new method named `determinePos` which tries
  to guess the position of a value and falls back to a default if that's
  not possible.

  This can be used to provide better messages if a coercion fails.

* The new `determinePos`-API is used by `builtins.concatMap` now. With
  that change, Nix shows the exact position in the error where a wrong
  value was returned by the lambda.

  To make sure it's still obvious that `concatMap` is the problem,
  another stack-frame was added.

* The changes described above can be added to every other `primop`, but
  first I'd like to get some feedback about the overall approach.

8d4268d190 Improve error formatting
Changes:

* The divider lines are gone. These were in practice a bit confusing,
  in particular with --show-trace or --keep-going, since then there
  were multiple lines, suggesting a start/end which wasn't the case.

* Instead, multi-line error messages are now indented to align with
  the prefix (e.g. "error: ").

* The 'description' field is gone since we weren't really using it.

* 'hint' is renamed to 'msg' since it really wasn't a hint.

* The error is now printed *before* the location info.

* The 'name' field is no longer printed since most of the time it
  wasn't very useful since it was just the name of the exception (like
  EvalError). Ideally in the future this would be a unique, easily
  googleable error ID (like rustc).

* "trace:" is now just "…". This assumes error contexts start with
  something like "while doing X".

Crucially this introduces BoehmGCStackAllocator, but it also
adds a bunch of wiring to avoid making libutil depend on bdw-gc.

85c8be6286 Remove static variable name clashes
This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single
compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't
hurt...

e8e1d420f3 Don't include <regex> in header files
This reduces compilation time by ~15 seconds (CPU time).

250f8a4bba Escape ${ in strings when printing Nix expressions
Otherwise the result of the printing can't be parsed back correctly by
Nix (because the unescaped `${` will be parsed as the begining of an
anti-quotation).

Fix auto argument passing for more auto arguments than formals
The change in 626200713b didn't account
for when the number of auto arguments is bigger than the number of
formal arguments. This causes the following:

  $ nix-instantiate --eval -E '{ ... }@args: args.foo' --argstr foo foo
  nix-instantiate: src/libexpr/attr-set.hh:55: void nix::Bindings::push_back(const nix::Attr&): Assertion `size_ < capacity_' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

626200713b Pass all args when auto-calling a function with an ellipsis
The command line options --arg and --argstr that are used by a bunch of
CLI commands to pass arguments to top-level functions in files go
through the same code-path as auto-calling top-level functions with
their default arguments - this, however, was only passing the arguments
that were *explicitly* mentioned in the formals of the function - in the
case of an as-pattern with an ellipsis (eg args @ { ... }) extra passed
arguments would get omitted. This fixes that to instead pass *all*
specified auto args in the case that our function has an ellipsis.

Fixes #598
