This sets up infrastructure in libutil to allow for signing other than
by a secret key in memory. #9076 uses this to implement remote signing.
(Split from that PR to allow reviewing in smaller chunks.)

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.

more buffers that can be uninitialized and on the stack. small
difference, but still worth doing.

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

This keeps hint messages, source location information, and source code
snippets grouped together, while making stack traces shorter (so that
more stack frames can be viewed on the same terminal).

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

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
without knowing a lot of context, it's not clear who "we" are in that
text. I'm also strongly opposed to adding procedural notes into
a reference manual; it just won't age well.
this change leaves a factual description of the experimental feature and
its purpose.
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.

This makes for more useful manual table of contents, that displays the
information at a glance.
The `nix help-stores` command is kept as-is, even though it will show up
in the manual with the same information as these pages due to the way it
is written as a "`--help`-style" command. Deciding what to do with that
command is left for a later PR.
This change also lists all store types at the top of the respective overview page.

This allows templates such as `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_*` templates and other generators with things like `std::vector<std::optional<T>>`.
