We use the same nested map representation we used for goals, again in order to save space. We might someday want to combine with `inputDrvs`, by doing `V = bool` instead of `V = std::set<OutputName>`, but we are not doing that yet for sake of a smaller diff. The ATerm format for Derivations also needs to be extended, in addition to the in-memory format. To accomodate this, we added a new basic versioning scheme, so old versions of Nix will get nice errors. (And going forward, if the ATerm format changes again the errors will be even better.) `parsedStrings`, an internal function used as part of parsing derivations in A-Term format, used to consume the final `]` but expect the initial `[` to already be consumed. This made for what looked like unbalanced brackets at callsites, which was confusing. Now it consumes both which is hopefully less confusing. As part of testing, we also created a unit test for the A-Term format for regular non-experimental derivations too.

Derivation "ATerm" file format
For historical reasons, derivations are stored on-disk in ATerm format.
Derivations are serialised in one of the following formats:
-
Derive(...)For all stable derivations.
-
DrvWithVersion(<version-string>, ...)The only
version-strings that are in use today are for experimental features:"xp-dyn-drv"for thedynamic-derivationsexperimental feature.
