On Nix 2.6 the output of `nix why-depends --all` seems to be somewhat
off:
$ nix why-depends /nix/store/kn47hayxab8gc01jhr98dwyywbx561aq-nixos-system-roflmayr-21.11.20220207.6c202a9.drv /nix/store/srn5jbs1q30jpybdmxqrwskyny659qgc-nix-2.6.drv --derivation --extra-experimental-features nix-command --all

Please note that `[...]-system-units.drv` is supposed to be a direct
child of `[...]-etc.drv`.
The reason for that is that each new level printed by `printNode` is
four spaces off in comparison to `nix why-depends --precise` because the
recursive `printNode()` only prints the path and not the `tree*`-chars in
the case of `--precise` and in this format the path is four spaces further
indented, i.e. on a newline, but on the same level as the path's children, i.e.
/nix/store/kn47hayxab8gc01jhr98dwyywbx561aq-nixos-system-roflmayr-21.11.20220207.6c202a9.drv
└───/: …1-p8.drv",["out"]),("/nix/store/g8bpgfjhh5vxrdq0w6r6s64f9kkm9z6c-etc.drv",["out"]),("/nix/store/…
→ /nix/store/g8bpgfjhh5vxrdq0w6r6s64f9kkm9z6c-etc.drv
As you can see `[...]-etc.drv` is a direct child of the root, but four
spaces indented. This logic was directly applied to the code-path with
`precise=false` which resulted in `tree*` being printed four spaces too
deep.
In case of no `--precise`, `hits[hash]` is empty and the path itself
should be printed rather than hits using the same logic as for `hits[hash]`.
With this fix, the output looks correct now:

It's a second attempt to merge the change. Previous attempt
was reverted in b976b34a5b.
Since then underlying failure exposed by original change was
fixed by https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5354.
Below goes description of original change:
The link failure happens on a system with stable nix-2.3.15
installed in /usr/lib64 (it's libutil.so API differs from master):
```
LANG=C make V=1
g++ -o /home/slyfox/dev/git/nix/src/libstore/libnixstore.so \
-shared -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,--no-copy-dt-needed-entries \
src/libstore/binary-cache-store.o ... src/libstore/uds-remote-store.o \
-lsqlite3 -lcurl -lsodium -pthread -ldl -lseccomp -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-soname=libnixstore.so
-Wl,-rpath,/home/slyfox/dev/git/nix/src/libutil -Lsrc/libutil -lnixutil
ld: src/libstore/binary-cache-store.o: in function `nix::BinaryCacheStore::BinaryCacheStore(
std::map<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, ...
nix/src/libstore/binary-cache-store.cc:30: undefined reference to `nix::readFile(
std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)' ...
...
```
This happens due to `-L/usr/lib64 -Lsrc/libutil` search path ordering.
The change turns it into `-Lsrc/libutil -L/usr/lib64`.
Closes: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3087
This changes the representation of the interrupt callback list to
be safe to use during interrupt handling.
Holding a lock while executing arbitrary functions is something to
avoid in general, because of the risk of deadlock.
Such a deadlock occurs in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3294
where ~CurlDownloader tries to deregister its interrupt callback.
This happens during what seems to be a triggerInterrupt() by the
daemon connection's MonitorFdHup thread. This bit I can not confirm
based on the stack trace though; it's based on reading the code,
so no absolute certainty, but a smoking gun nonetheless.
