This is required for other bindings like nix-flake-c to hook into
nix-expr-c appropriately.
The `_internal` part should be a sufficient deterrent normally,
and it may also be useful for bindings that migrate from the C++
interface.
For people self-hosting caches that can be occasionally down, the
default timeout is very long. This is annoying if you are trying to
update your binary cache at the same time you are trying to update
another machine. Same if cachix has one of its rare hiccups.
We tested this value of 5s in srvos now for years and we like to travel
around the world with shitty internet, so it should be still reasonable
high.
For example, instead of doing
#include "nix/store-config.hh"
#include "nix/derived-path.hh"
Now do
#include "nix/store/config.hh"
#include "nix/store/derived-path.hh"
This was originally planned in the issue, and also recent requested by
Eelco.
Most of the change is purely mechanical. There is just one small
additional issue. See how, in the example above, we took this
opportunity to also turn `<comp>-config.hh` into `<comp>/config.hh`.
Well, there was already a `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`. Even though there
is not a public configuration header for libutil (which also would be
called `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`) that's still confusing, To avoid any
such confusion, we renamed that to `nix/util/configuration.{cc,hh}`.
Finally, note that the libflake headers already did this, so we didn't
need to do anything to them. We wouldn't want to mistakenly get
`nix/flake/flake/flake.hh`!

This includes the logic that disables checks on cross appropriately.

This way, we don't need the PathDisplaySourceAccessor source accessor
hack, since error messages are produced directly by the original
source accessor.
In fact, we don't even need to copy the inputs to the store at all, so
this gets us very close to lazy trees. We just need to know the store
path so that requires hashing the entire input, which isn't lazy. But
the next step will be to use a virtual store path that gets rewritten
to the actual store path only when needed.

#include "nix/store-config.hh"
#include "nix/derived-path.hh"
