This increases test coverage, and gets the worker protocol ready to be
used by Hydra.
Why don't we just try to use the store interface in Hydra? Well, the
problem is that the store interface works on connection pools, with each
opreation getting potentially a different connection, but the way temp
roots work requires that we keep one logical "transaction" (temp root
session) using the same connection.
The longer-term solution probably is making connections themselves
implement the store interface, but that is something that builds on
this, so I feel OK that this is not churn in the wrong direction.
Fixes#9584
Do this instead of an unchecked cast
I redid this to use the serialisation framework (including a unit test),
but I am keeping the reference to credit Jade for spotting the issue.

This way we can commit the same amount of stack size (64 MB) without a conditional.
Includes nix, libnixexpr-tests, libnixfetchers-tests, libnixstore-tests, libnixutil-tests.
This was accidentally removed in
e989c83b44. I restored it and also did a
few other cleanups:
- Make a static method for namespacing purposes
- Put the test files in the data dir with the other test data
- Avoid mutating globals in the machine config tests
This will be used by Hydra.
1. Hydra currently queries for multiple path infos at once, so let us
make a connection item for that.
2. The minimum of the two versions should always be used, see #9584.
(The issue remains open because the daemon protocol needs to be
likewise updated.)
The JSON format no longer uses the legacy ATerm `r:` prefixing nonsese,
but separate fields.
Progress on #9866

When reviewing old PRs, I found that #9997 adds some code to ensure one
particular assert is always present. But, removing asserts isn't
something we do in our own release builds either in the flake here or in
nixpkgs, and is plainly a bad idea that increases support burden,
especially if other distros make bad choices of build flags in their Nix
packaging.
For context, the assert macro in the C standard is defined to do nothing
if NDEBUG is set.
There is no way in our build system to set -DNDEBUG without manually
adding it to CFLAGS, so this is simply a configuration we do not use.
Let's ban it at compile time.
I put this preprocessor directive in src/libutil.cc because it is not
obvious where else to put it, and it seems like the most logical file
since you are not getting a usable nix without it.

No outward facing behavior is changed.
Older methods with same names that operate on on method + algo pair (for
old-style `<method>:algo`) are renamed to `*WithAlgo`.)
The functions are unit-tested in the same way the names for the hash
algorithms are tested.
As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29.
Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and
treated as a file name, mostly to protect users.
.-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip
on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's
what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably
doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway.
We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still
poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing
trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've
seen how annoying and painful such a change is.
What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be
injected, and to just get this done.
In the process, partially undo e89b5bd0bf
in that the ancient < 2.4 version is now supported again by the
serializer again. `LegacySSHStore`, instead of also asserting that the
version is at least 4, just checks that `narHash` is set.
This allows us to better test the serializer in isolation for both
versions (< 4 and >= 4).
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:
- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
of Nix proper.
- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:
- It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
it needs the libraries.
- It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!
This reorg solves these problems.
There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.
