Known behavior changes:
- `MemorySourceAccessor`'s comparison operators no longer forget to
compare the `SourceAccessor` base class.
Progress on #10832
What remains for that issue is hopefully much easier!
- use the iterator in `CanonPath` to count `level`
- use the `CanonPath::basename` method
- use `CanonPath::root` instead of `CanonPath{""}`
- remove `Path` and `PathView`, use `std::filesystem::path` directly

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.
Now that SourcePath uses a SourceAccessor instead of an InputAccessor,
we can use it in function signatures instead of passing a
SourceAccessor and CanonPath separately.
At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands

This introduces new utility functions to get elements from JSON — in an ergonomic way and with nice error messages if the expected type does not match.

`canonPath` and `absPath` work on native paths, and so should switch
between supporting Unix paths and Windows paths accordingly.
The templating is because `CanonPath`, which shares the implementation,
should always be Unix style. It is the pure "nix-native" path type for
virtual file operations --- it is part of Nix's "business logic", and
should not vary with the host OS accordingly.
The core `CanonPath` constructors were using `absPath`, but `absPath` in
some situations does IO which is not appropriate. It turns out that
these constructors avoided those situations, and thus were pure, but it
was far from obvious this was the case.
To remedy the situation, abstract the core algorithm from `canonPath` to
use separately in `CanonPath` without any IO. No we know by-construction
that those constructors are pure.
That leaves `CanonPath::fromCWD` as the only operation which uses IO /
is impure. Add docs on it, and `CanonPath` as a whole, explaining the
situation.
This is also necessary to support Windows paths on windows without
messing up `CanonPath`. But, I think it is good even without that.

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.
When I started contributing to Nix, I found the mix of definitions and
names in `fmt.hh` to be rather confusing, especially the small
difference between `hintfmt` and `hintformat`. I've renamed many classes
and added documentation to most definitions.
- `formatHelper` is no longer exported.
- `fmt`'s documentation is now with `fmt` rather than (misleadingly)
above `formatHelper`.
- `yellowtxt` is renamed to `Magenta`.
`yellowtxt` wraps its value with `ANSI_WARNING`, but `ANSI_WARNING`
has been equal to `ANSI_MAGENTA` for a long time. Now the name is
updated.
- `normaltxt` is renamed to `Uncolored`.
- `hintfmt` has been merged into `hintformat` as extra constructor
functions.
- `hintformat` has been renamed to `hintfmt`.
- The single-argument `hintformat(std::string)` constructor has been
renamed to a static member `hintformat::interpolate` to avoid pitfalls
with using user-generated strings as format strings.
