202c5e2afc Start standardizing hash algo flags
Do this if we want to do `--hash-algo` everywhere, and not `--algo` for
hash commands.

The new `nix hash convert` is updated. Deprecated new CLI commands are
left as-is (`nix hash path` needs to be redone and is also left as-is).

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.

running `nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'`

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.

Before:

    $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '(x: x x) (x: x x)'
    Segmentation fault: 11

After:

    $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '(x: x x) (x: x x)'

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.

Print the value in error: cannot coerce messages (#9553)
* Print the value in `error: cannot coerce` messages

This extends the `error: cannot coerce a TYPE to a string` message
to print the value that could not be coerced. This helps with debugging
by making it easier to track down where the value is being produced
from, especially in errors with deep or unhelpful stack traces.
