26d60b837c Move down fallback targets in Makefile
This ensures `lib.mk` still defines `default` as the first target. This
fixes some builds.

7feabf7d44 Split --disable-tests, fix cross builds
It might seem obnoxious to have yet more configure flags, but I found
controlling both the unit and functional tests with one flag was quite
confusing because they are so different:

- unit tests depending on building, functional tests don't (e.g. when
  we test already-built Nix)

- unit tests can be installed, functional tests cannot

- unit tests neeed extra libraries (GTest, RapidCheck), functional
  tests need extra executables (jq).

- unit tests are run by `make check`, functional tests are run by `make
  installcheck`

Really on a technical level, they seem wholly independent. Only on a
human level ("they are both are tests") do they have anything in common.

I had messed up the logic in cross builds because of this. Now I
split the flag in two (and cleaned up a few other inconsistencies), and
the logic fixed itself.

733333e87d Including config.h also needs $(buildprefix)
Per the instruction in the manual, we want to run configure in a
different directory so that we can configure + build for multiple
platforms. That means `config.h` will be in the build directory. This is
just like `Makefile.config`, which already is used with
`$(buildprefix)`.

91b6833686 Move tests to separate directories, and document
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.

d536c57e87 Docs build: depend on locally built nix executable and not installed one
Previously many of the documentation targets were depending on
`$(bindir)/nix` which is the installed version. This meant that its
install rules would be triggered (which in chain would also trigger the
install of libraries, as reported in #5140). Therefore a build of the
documentation without an installation would not be possible (which apart
from doing unwanted operations it may also generate permission problems
for example).

The fix makes the rules depend on `$(nix_PATH)` instead, which is the
executable in the build tree.

47b3508665 Use positive source filtering for the standalone functional tests job
Additionally this skipping of the building is reimplemented to be a bit
more robust and use the same idioms as the functionality for skipping
the tests. In particular, it will now work even if the source files
exist, so we can do this during development too.

68c81c7375 Put functional tests in tests/functional
I think it is bad for these reasons when `tests/` contains a mix of
functional and integration tests

 - Concepts is harder to understand, the documentation makes a good
   unit vs functional vs integration distinction, but when the
   integration tests are just two subdirs within `tests/` this is not
   clear.

 - Source filtering in the `flake.nix` is more complex. We need to
   filter out some of the dirs from `tests/`, rather than simply pick
   the dirs we want and take all of them. This is a good sign the
   structure of what we are trying to do is not matching the structure
   of the files.

With this change we have a clean:
```shell-session
$ git show 'HEAD:tests'
tree HEAD:tests

functional/
installer/
nixos/
```

259e328de8 Introduce notion of a test group, use for CA tests
Grouping our tests should make it easier to understand the intent than
one long poorly-arranged list. It also is convenient for running just
the tests for a specific component when working on that component.

We need at least one test group so this isn't dead code; I decided to
collect the tests for the `ca-derivations` and `dynamic-derivations`
experimental features in groups. Do
```bash
make ca.test-group -jN
```
and
```bash
make dyn-drv.test-group -jN
```
to try running just them.

I originally did this as part of #8397 for being able to just the local
overlay store alone. I am PRing it separately now so we can separate
general infra from new features.

d2696cdd1e Fix build hook error for libstore library users
A library shouldn't require changes to the caller's argument handling,
especially if it doesn't have to, and indeed we don't have to.

This changes the lookup order to prioritize the hardcoded path to nix
if it exists. The static executable still finds itself through /proc
and the like.

6910f5dcb6 Generate API docs with Doxygen
The motivation is as stated in issue #7814: even though the the C++ API
is internal and unstable, people still want it to be well documented for
sake of learning, code review, and other purposes that aren't predicated
on it being stable.

8648ebc2cc Add ./configure --disable-tests option
Building without tests is useful for bootstrapping with a smaller footprint
or running the tests in a separate derivation. Otherwise, we do compile and
run them.

This isn't fine grained as to allow picking `check` but not `installcheck`
or vice versa, but it's good enough for now.

I've tried to use Nixpkgs' `checkInputs`, but those inputs weren't discovered
properly by the configure script. We can emulate its behavior very well though.

5978ceb271 Fix building with GCC 9
Nixpkgs on aarch64-linux is currently stuck on GCC 9
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208412) and using gcc11Stdenv
doesn't work either.

So use c++2a instead of c++20 for now. Unfortunately this means we
can't use some C++20 features for now (like std::span).

Add unit tests for libexpr (#5377)
* libexpr: fix builtins.split example

The example was previously indicating that multiple whitespaces would be
collapsed into a single captured whitespace. That isn't true and was
likely a mistake when being documented initially.

* Fix segfault on unitilized list when printing value

Since lists are just chunks of memory the individual elements in the
list might be unitilized when a programming error happens within Nix.

In this case the values are null-initialized (at least with Boehm GC)
and we can avoid a nullptr deref when printing them.

I ran into this issue while ensuring that new expression tests would
show the actual value on an assertion failure.

This is unlikely to cause any runtime performance regressions as
printing values is not really in the hot path (unless the repl is the
primary use case).

* Add operator<< for ValueTypes

* Add libexpr tests

This introduces tests for libexpr that evalulate various trivial Nix
language expressions and primop invocations that should be good smoke
tests wheter or not the implementation is behaving as expected.

3884f7a69a Install nlohmann_json headers
These headers are included by the libexpr, libfetchers, libstore
and libutil headers.
Considering that these are vendored sources, Nix should expose them,
as it is not a good idea for reverse dependencies to rely on a
potentially different source that can go out of sync.

The Makefile rules for `unit-tests` is a complete hack.

462421d345 Backport libfetchers from the flakes branch
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.

  fetchTree {
    type = "git";
    url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
    ref = "some-branch";
    rev = "abcdef...";
  }

The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.

All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).

This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).

717e821b99 autoconf: Allow overriding CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS from outside.
As is normal for autoconf-based projects.

For example, it is a common use case to do

    ./configure CXXFLAGS=-O0

This did not work for nix until now, because the `CXXFLAGS=` declaration
would unconditionally erase what the user had specified.

The custom `OPTIMIZE` flag is removed, but the default `-O3` is retained;
autoconf would default to `-g -O2` by default otherwise as documented on:
