At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands

It's a little weird we don't check the return status for these, but
changing that would introduce risk so I did not.

While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in
dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of
EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v))
we could write
TypeError(v, "boolean")
or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical
refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to
be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the
codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error
from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first
step towards error codes / an error index.
This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to
support exception types with different constructor signatures than
`BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data
will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to
touch every exception in `libexpr`).
The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this:
state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow<TypeError>()
are transformed like this:
state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow()
The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to
`EvalState::error`.
All OS and IO operations should be moved out, leaving only some misc
portable pure functions.
This is useful to avoid copious CPP when doing things like Windows and
Emscripten ports.
Newly exposed functions to break cycles:
- `restoreSignals`
- `updateWindowSize`
libutil is a dependency of libstore, so it should always be
initialized as such.
libutil is also a dependency of libmain. Being explicit about this
dependency might be good, but not worth the slight code complexity
until the library structure gets more advanced.
Part of an effort to make it easier to initialize the right things,
by moving code into the appropriate libraries.
Quote
Why not initLibExpr()? initGC() is essentially that, but
detectStackOverflow is not an instance of the init function concept, as
it may have to be invoked more than once per process.
Furthermore, renaming initGC to initLibExpr is more trouble than it's
worth at this time.
This code is bad. We shouldn't unset variables in programs whose
children may need them. Fixing one issue at a time, so postponing.

not just libmain.

Using libstore without loading the config file is risky, as sqlite
may then be misconfigured. See https://github.com/cachix/cachix/issues/475
Presently when nix says something like:
```
these 486 paths will be fetched (511.54 MiB download, 6458.64 MiB unpacked):
...path1
...path2
...path3
...
...
...path486
```
It sorts path1, path2, path3, ..., path486 in lexicographic order of the
store path.
After this commit, nix will show path1, path2, path3, ..., path486 sorted by
StorePath name() (basically everything after the hash) rather than the store path.
This makes it easier to review what exactly is being downloaded at a glance,
especially when many paths need to be fetched.
Disables the SA_RESTART behavior on macOS which causes:

From: https://man.openbsd.org/sigaction#SA_RESTART
This being set on macOS caused a bug where read() calls to the daemon
socket were blocking after a SIGINT was received. As a result,
checkInterrupt was never reached even though the signal was received
by the signal handler thread.
On Linux, SA_RESTART is disabled by default. This probably effects
other BSDs but I don’t have the ability to test it there right now.
Starts progress on #5729.
The idea is that we should not have these default methods throwing
"unimplemented". This is a small step in that direction.
I kept `addTempRoot` because it is a no-op, rather than failure. Also,
as a practical matter, it is called all over the place, while doing
other tasks, so the downcasting would be annoying.
Maybe in the future I could move the "real" `addTempRoot` to `GcStore`,
and the existing usecases use a `tryAddTempRoot` wrapper to downcast or
do nothing, but I wasn't sure whether that was a good idea so with a
bias to less churn I didn't do it yet.
Before this change, stdout was closed after the pager exits. This is
fine for non-interactive commands where we want to exit right after
the pager exits anyways, but for interactive things (e.g. nix repl)
this breaks the output after we quit the pager.
Keep the initial stdout fd as part of RunPager, and restore it in
RunPager::~RunPager using dup2.
We can actually just load nss ourselves and call in nss to configure it
and we don't need to run a dummy query entirely to have nss load nss_dns
as a side-effect.

This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.
It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.
In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).
