Rather than having four different but very similar types of hashes, make
only one, with a tag indicating whether it corresponds to a regular of
deferred derivation.
This implies a slight logical change: The original Nix+multiple-outputs
model assumed only one hash-modulo per derivation. Adding
multiple-outputs CA derivations changed this as these have one
hash-modulo per output. This change is now treating each derivation as
having one hash modulo per output.
This obviously means that we internally loose the guaranty that
all the outputs of input-addressed derivations have the same hash
modulo. But it turns out that it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing
in the code taking advantage of that fact (and it probably shouldn’t
anyways).
The upside is that it is now much easier to work with these hashes, and
we can get rid of a lot of useless `std::visit{ overloaded`.

You can now write
fetchTree {
type = "github";
owner = "NixOS";
repo = "nixpkgs";
rev = "0f316e4d72daed659233817ffe52bf08e081b5de";
patches = [ ./thunderbird-1.patch ./thunderbird-2.patch ];
};
to apply a list of patches to a tree. These are applied lazily - the
patched tree is not materialized unless you do something that causes
the entire tree to be copied to the store (like 'src = fetchTree {
... }'). The equivalent of '-p1' is implied.
File additions/deletions/renames are not yet handled.
Issue #3920.
Before this change, processLine always uses the first character
as the start of the line. This cause whitespaces to matter at the
beginning of the line whereas it does not matter anywhere else.
This commit trims leading white spaces of the string line so that
subsequent operations can be performed on the string without explicitly
tracking starting and ending indices of the string.
This avoids an infinite loop in the final test in
tests/binary-cache.sh. I think this was only not triggered previously
by accident (because we were clearing wantedOutputs in between).
LocalStore::addToStore() since
79ae9e4558 expects a regular NAR hash,
rather than a NAR hash modulo self-references. Fixes#6300.
Also, makeContentAddressed() now rewrites the entire closure (so 'nix
store make-content-addressable' no longer needs '-r'). See #6301.
