docs: split types from syntax (#11013)
move together all syntactic and semantic information into one
page, and add a page on data types, which in turn links to the syntax and
semantics.

also split out the note on scoping rules into its own page.

Load, parse, and return the Nix expression in the file *path*.
> **Note**
>
> Unlike some languages, `import` is a regular function in Nix.
The *path* argument must meet the same criteria as an [interpolated expression](@docroot@/language/string-interpolation.md#interpolated-expression).
If *path* is a directory, the file `default.nix` in that directory is used if it exists.
> **Example**

Evaluation aborts if the file doesnt exist or contains an invalid Nix expression.
A Nix expression loaded by `import` must not contain any *free variables*, that is, identifiers that are not defined in the Nix expression itself and are not built-in.
Therefore, it cannot refer to variables that are in scope at the call site.
> **Example**
>
> If you have a calling expression
>
> ```nix
> rec {
> x = 123;
> y = import ./foo.nix;
> }
> ```
>
> then the following `foo.nix` will give an error:
>
> ```nix
> # foo.nix
> x + 456
> ```
>
> since `x` is not in scope in `foo.nix`.
> If you want `x` to be available in `foo.nix`, pass it as a function argument:
>
> ```nix
> rec {
> x = 123;
> y = import ./foo.nix x;
> }
> ```
>
> and
>
> ```nix
> # foo.nix
> x: x + 456

`builtins.genericClosure` iteratively computes the transitive closure over an arbitrary relation defined by a function.
It takes *attrset* with two attributes named `startSet` and `operator`, and returns a list of attrbute sets:
- `startSet`:
The initial list of attribute sets.
- `operator`:
A function that takes an attribute set and returns a list of attribute sets.
It defines how each item in the current set is processed and expanded into more items.
Each attribute set in the list `startSet` and the list returned by `operator` must have an attribute `key`, which must support equality comparison.
The value of `key` can be one of the following types:
- [Int](@docroot@/language/types.md#type-int)
- [Float](@docroot@/language/types.md#type-float)
- [Boolean](@docroot@/language/types.md#type-boolean)
- [String](@docroot@/language/types.md#type-string)
- [Path](@docroot@/language/types.md#type-path)
- [List](@docroot@/language/types.md#list)
The result is produced by calling the `operator` on each `item` that has not been called yet, including newly added items, until no new items are added.
Items are compared by their `key` attribute.
Common usages are:
- Generating unique collections of items, such as dependency graphs.
- Traversing through structures that may contain cycles or loops.
- Processing data structures with complex internal relationships.

Find *lookup-path* in *search-path*.
A search path is represented list of [attribute sets](./types.md#attribute-set) with two attributes:
- `prefix` is a relative path.
- `path` denotes a file system location

Examples of search path attribute sets:
- ```

path = "/etc/nixos/configuration.nix";
}
```
- ```
{
prefix = "";
path = "/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels";

- If *lookup-path* matches `prefix`, then the remainder of *lookup-path* (the "suffix") is searched for within the directory denoted by `path`.
Note that the `path` may need to be downloaded at this point to look inside.
- If the suffix is found inside that directory, then the entry is a match.

```
The builder is supposed to generate the configuration file for a
[Jetty servlet container](http://jetty.mortbay.org/). A servlet
container contains a number of servlets (`*.war` files) each
exported under a specific URI prefix. So the servlet configuration
is a list of sets containing the `path` and `war` of the servlet
(). This kind of information is difficult to communicate with the
normal method of passing information through an environment
variable, which just concatenates everything together into a
string (which might just work in this case, but wouldnt work if
fields are optional or contain lists themselves). Instead the Nix
expression is converted to an XML representation with `toXML`,
which is unambiguous and can easily be processed with the
appropriate tools. For instance, in the example an XSLT stylesheet
(at point ) is applied to it (at point ) to generate the XML
configuration file for the Jetty server. The XML representation
produced at point by `toXML` is as follows:
```xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<expr>
<list>
<attrs>
<attr name="path">
<string value="/bugtracker" />
</attr>
<attr name="war">
<path value="/nix/store/d1jh9pasa7k2...-jira/lib/atlassian-jira.war" />
</attr>
</attrs>

</attr>
<attr name="war">
<path value="/nix/store/y6423b1yi4sx...-uberwiki/uberwiki.war" />
</attr>
</attrs>
</list>
</expr>
```
Note that we used the `toFile` built-in to write the builder and
the stylesheet inline in the Nix expression. The path of the
stylesheet is spliced into the builder using the syntax `xsltproc
${stylesheet}`.

This function allows you to copy sources into the Nix store while
filtering certain files. For instance, suppose that you want to use
the directory `source-dir` as an input to a Nix expression, e.g.
```nix
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
src = ./source-dir;
}
```
However, if `source-dir` is a Subversion working copy, then all
those annoying `.svn` subdirectories will also be copied to the
store. Worse, the contents of those directories may change a lot,
causing lots of spurious rebuilds. With `filterSource` you can
filter out the `.svn` directories:
```nix
src = builtins.filterSource
(path: type: type != "directory" || baseNameOf path != ".svn")
./source-dir;
```
Thus, the first argument *e1* must be a predicate function that is
called for each regular file, directory or symlink in the source
tree *e2*. If the function returns `true`, the file is copied to the
Nix store, otherwise it is omitted. The function is called with two
arguments. The first is the full path of the file. The second is a
string that identifies the type of the file, which is either
`"regular"`, `"directory"`, `"symlink"` or `"unknown"` (for other
kinds of files such as device nodes or fifos but note that those
cannot be copied to the Nix store, so if the predicate returns
`true` for them, the copy will fail). If you exclude a directory,
the entire corresponding subtree of *e2* will be excluded.

An enrichment of the built-in path type, based on the attributes

- path\
The underlying path.

The name of the path when added to the store. This can used to
reference paths that have nix-illegal characters in their names,
like `@`.
- filter\
A function of the type expected by [`builtins.filterSource`](#builtins-filterSource),
with the same semantics.
- recursive\
When `false`, when `path` is added to the store it is with a
flat hash, rather than a hash of the NAR serialization of the
file. Thus, `path` must refer to a regular file, not a
directory. This allows similar behavior to `fetchurl`. Defaults
to `true`.
- sha256\
When provided, this is the expected hash of the file at the

providing a hash allows `builtins.path` to be used even when the
`pure-eval` nix config option is on.

// linear in the largest set, which is not acceptable for callPackage in Nixpkgs.
//
// Simultaneous scan, with alternating simple binary search
// ===
// One alternative algorithm scans the attrsets simultaneously, jumping
// forward using `lower_bound` in case of inequality. This should perform
// well on very similar sets, having a local and predictable access pattern.
// On dissimilar sets, it seems to need more comparisons than the current
// algorithm, as few consecutive attrs match. `lower_bound` could take
// advantage of the decreasing remaining search space, but this causes
// the medians to move, which can mean that they don't stay in the cache
// like they would with the current naive `find`.
//
// Double binary search
// ===
// The optimal algorithm may be "Double binary search", which doesn't
// scan at all, but rather divides both sets simultaneously.
// See "Fast Intersection Algorithms for Sorted Sequences" by Baeza-Yates et al.
// https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~ajsaling/papers/intersection_alg_app10.pdf
// The only downsides I can think of are not having a linear access pattern
// for similar sets, and having to maintain a more intricate algorithm.
//
// Adaptive
// ===
// Finally one could run try a simultaneous scan, count misses and fall back
// to double binary search when the counter hit some threshold and/or ratio.

`f` receives two arguments: the attribute name and a non-empty
list of all values encountered for that attribute name.
The result is an attribute set where the attribute names are the
union of the attribute names in each element of `list`. The attribute
values are the return values of `f`.
```nix
builtins.zipAttrsWith
(name: values: { inherit name values; })
[ { a = "x"; } { a = "y"; b = "z"; } ]
```
evaluates to
```
{
a = { name = "a"; values = [ "x" "y" ]; };
b = { name = "b"; values = [ "z" ]; };
}
