As summarized in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/77#issuecomment-2843228280 the
motivation is that the complicated retry logic this introduced was
making the cleanup task #12628 harder to accomplish. It was not easy to
ascertain just what policy / semantics the extra control-flow was
implementing, in order to figure out a different way to implementing it
either.
After talking to Eelco about it, he decided we could just....get rid of
the feature entirely! It's a bit scary removing a decade+ old feature,
but I think he is right. See the release notes for more explanation.
This reverts commit 299141ecbd.

The existing header is a bit too big. Now the following use-cases are
separated, and get their own headers:
- Using or implementing an arbitrary store: remaining `store-api.hh`
This is closer to just being about the `Store` (and `StoreConfig`)
classes, as one would expect.
- Opening a store from a textual description: `store-open.hh`
Opening an aribtrary store implementation like this requires some sort
of store registration mechanism to exists, but the caller doesn't need
to know how it works. This just exposes the functions which use such a
mechanism, without exposing the mechanism itself
- Registering a store implementation: `store-registration.hh`
This requires understanding how the mechanism actually works, and the
mechanism in question involves templated machinery in headers we
rather not expose to things that don't need it, as it would slow down
compilation for no reason.
`nix formatter build` is sort of like `nix build`: it builds, links, and
prints a path to the formatter program:
$ nix formatter build
/nix/store/cb9w44vkhk2x4adfxwgdkkf5gjmm856j-treefmt/bin/treefmt
Note that unlike `nix build`, this prints the full path to the program,
not just the store path (in the example above that would be
`/nix/store/cb9w44vkhk2x4adfxwgdkkf5gjmm856j-treefmt`).
Motivation
----------
I maintain a vim plugin that automatically runs `nix fmt` on files on
save. Since `nix fmt` can be quite slow due to nix evaluation, I choose
to cache the `nix fmt `entrypoint. This was very awkward to do, see the
implementation for details:
7864607231/lua/null-ls/builtins/formatting/nix_flake_fmt.lua (L83-L110).
I recently discovered that my implementation was buggy (it didn't handle
flakes that expose a `formatter` package, such as nixpkgs), so I had to
rework the implementation:
https://github.com/nvimtools/none-ls.nvim/pull/272.
With the new `nix formatter build` command, I can delete all this akward
code, and it will be easier for other folks to build performant editor
integrations for `nix fmt`.
This refactor shouldn't change much except add a new `nix formatter run`
command. This creates space for the new `nix formatter build` command,
which I'll be introducing in the next commit.
... by moving our stuff out of the way from upstream's
`nixComponents` and `nixDependencies` attrsets.
(I prefer not to use overlays, but let's make it work this way
first)

We had fields set to the same values before in our test data. This is
not a problem per-se, but does mean we wouldn't catch certain mixups.
Now, the fields are set to distinct values (where possible), which makes
the test more robust.

Now, both the unit and functional tests relating to derivation options
are tested both ways -- with input addressing and content-addressing
derivations.

This requires that we refer to the `sourceInfo` instead of the
`result`. However, `sourceInfo` does not create a chain of basedir
resolution, so we add that back with `flakeDir`.
