-p preserves xattrs and acls which can be incompatible between
filesystems
Unfortunately keep -p on darwin because the bsd coreutils do not
support --preserve.

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.
