Move init() call from constructor to openStore() method to avoid calling
virtual methods during object construction. This prevents undefined
behavior when virtual methods are called before the object is fully
constructed.

When `file://` is used accidentally in a flake as the source it is
expected to be a tarball by default.
Add some friendlier error messages to either inform the user this is not
in fact a tarball or if it's a git directory, let them know they can use
`git+file`.

Users have complained that fetchGit is flaky however the culprit is
likely that `git fetch` was unable itself to download the repository for
whatever reason (i.e. poor network etc..)
Nothing was checking the status of `git fetch` and the error message
that would eventually surface to the users were that the commit was not
found.
Add explicit error checking for status code from `git fetch` and return
a message earlier on to indicate that the failure was from that point.

We’re already allowing `/tmp` anyway, so this should be harmless,
and it fixes a regression in the default configuration caused by
moving the build directories out of `temp-dir`. (For instance, that
broke the Lix `guessOrInventPath.sockets` test.)
Note that removing `/tmp` breaks quite a few builds, so although it may
be a good idea in general it would require work on the Nixpkgs side.

Lix patch: https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3500
When AWS credentials expired, in some scenarios they led to the
nix process aborting with an error similar to ' Unable to parse ExceptionName: ExpiredToken'.
This change updates the S3 handling code such that those errors are treated like 403s or 404s.
Closes#13459
c39cc00404 has added assertions for
all Value accesses and the following case has started failing with
an `unreachable`:
(/tmp/fun.nix):
```nix
{a}: a
```
```
$ nix eval --impure --expr 'import /tmp/fun.nix {a="a";b="b";}'
```
This would crash:
```
terminating due to unexpected unrecoverable internal error: Unexpected condition in getStorage at ../include/nix/expr/value.hh:844
```
This is not a regression, but rather surfaces an existing problem, which previously
was left undiagnosed. In the case of an import `fun` is the `import` primOp, so that read is invalid
and previously this resulted in an access into an inactive union member, which is UB.
The correct thing to use is `vCur`. Identical problem also affected the case of a missing argument.
Add previously failing test cases to the functional/lang test suite.
Fixes#13448.

This changes makes nix detect a machines available cores automatically whenever build-cores is set to 0.
So far, nix simply passed NIX_BUILD_CORES=0 whenever build-cores is set to 0. (only when build-cores is unset it was detecting cores automatically)
The behavior of passing NIX_BUILD_CORES=0 leads to a performance penalty when sourcing nixpkgs' generic builder's `setup.sh`, as setup.sh has to execute `nproc`. This significantly slows down sourcing of setup.sh
The use of R"(...)" added a bunch of unnecessary whitespace, e.g.
error:
Unable to start any build;
either increase '--max-jobs' or enable remote builds.
For more information run 'man nix.conf' and search for '/machines'.
Now we get
error: Unable to start any build; either increase '--max-jobs' or enable remote builds.
For more information run 'man nix.conf' and search for '/machines'.
This shaves off a very significand amount of memory used
for evaluation as well as reduces the GC-managed heap.
Previously the union discriminator (InternalType) was
stored as a separate field in the Value, which takes up
whole 8 bytes due to padding needed for member alignment.
This effectively wasted 7 whole bytes of memory. Instead
of doing that InternalType is instead packed into pointer
alignment niches. As it turns out, there's more than enough
unused bits there for the bit packing to be effective.
See the doxygen comment in the ValueStorage specialization
for more details.
This does not add any performance overhead, even though
we now consistently assert the InternalType in all getters.
This can also be made atomic with a double width compare-and-swap
instruction on x86_64 (CMPXCHG16B instruction) for parallel evaluation.
This factors out most of the value representation into a mixin class.
`finishValue` is now gone for good and replaced with a simple template
function `setStorage` which derives the type information/disriminator from
the type of the argument. Likewise, reading of the value goes through function
template `getStorage`.
An empty type `Null` is introduced to make the bijection InternalType <-> C++ type
complete.
