~1% parser speedup from not using TLS indirections, less on system eval.
this could have also gone in flex yyextra data, but that's significantly
slower for some reason (albeit still faster than thread locals).

~2% speedup on parsing without eval, less (but still significant) on
system eval. having flex generate faster parsers leads to very strange
misparses. maybe re2c is worth investigating.

as written the comparisons generate copies, even though it looks as
though they shouldn't.

checking for isBlackhole in the forceValue hot path is rather more
expensive than necessary, and with a little bit of trickery we can move
such handling into the isApp case. small performance benefit, but under
some circumstances we've seen 2% improvement as well.

resizing a std::string clears the newly added bytes, which is not
necessary here and comes with a ~1.4% slowdown on our test nixos config.

* document `fetchTree`
* display experimental feature note at the top
we have to enable the new `fetchTree` experimental feature to render it
at all. this was a bug introduced when adding that new feature flag.

The code has already been fixed (yay!) so what is left of this commit is
just updating the API docs.

According https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/strstream, it has been
deprecated since C++98! The Clang + Linux build systems to not have it
at all, or at least be hiding it.
We can just use `std::stringstream` instead, I think.
* 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.

This is needed for building CA deriations with a src store / dest store
split. In particular it is needed for Hydra.
https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/838 currently puts realizations,
and thus build outputs, in the local store, but it should not.
This includes position information in more places, making debugging
easier.
Before:
```
$ nix-instantiate --show-trace --eval tests/functional/lang/eval-fail-using-set-as-attr-name.nix
error:
… while evaluating an attribute name
at «none»:0: (source not available)
error: value is a set while a string was expected
```
After:
```
error:
… while evaluating an attribute name
at /pwd/lang/eval-fail-using-set-as-attr-name.nix:5:10:
4| in
5| attr.${key}
| ^
6|
error: value is a set while a string was expected
```
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).
AppleDouble files were extracted differently on macOS machines than on other
UNIX's.
Setting `archive_read_set_format_option(this->archive, NULL ,"mac-ext",NULL)`
fixes this problem, since it just ignores the AppleDouble file and treats it as
a normal one.
This was a problem since it caused source archives to be different between macOS
and Linux.

* Factor out the default `MultiCommand` behavior
All the `MultiCommand`s had (nearly) the same behavior when called
without a subcommand.
Factor out this behavior into the `NixMultiCommand` class.
* Display the list of available subcommands when none is specified
Whenever a user runs a command that excepts a subcommand, add the list
of available subcommands to the error message.
* Print the multi-command lists as Markdown lists
This takes more screen real estate, but is also much more readable than
a comma-separated list
