Having a State class in the nix namespace is asking
for ODR trouble. This class is already private to the
translation unit, let's move it into an anonymous namespace.
This changes our GHA CI and nix-store-tests packaging
to build and run the benchmarks. This does not affect
the default packaging - the overrides apply only for the
GHA CI.
GCC doesn't really benefit as much as Clang does from
using precompiled headers. Another aspect to consider is that
clangd doesn't really like GCC's PCH flags in the compilation database,
so GCC based devshells would continue to work with clangd.
This also has the slight advantage of ensuring that our includes are in
order, since we build with both Clang and GCC.
Instead of parsing a structured attrs at some later point, we parsed it
right away when parsing the A-Term format, and likewise serialize it to
`__json = <JSON dump>` when serializing a derivation to A-Term.
The JSON format can directly contain the JSON structured attrs without
so encoding it, so we just do that.
Add a new setting to warn about path literals that don't start with "." or "/". When enabled,
expressions like `foo/bar` will emit a warning suggesting to use `./foo/bar` instead.
A functional test is included.
The setting defaults to false for backward compatibility but could eventually default to true in
the future.

SHA-256 is Git's next hash algorithm. The world is still basically stuck
on SHA-1 with git, but shouldn't be. We can at least do our part to get
ready.
On the C++ implementation side, only a little bit of generalization was
needed, and that was fairly straight-forward. The tests (unit and
system) were actually bigger, and care was taken to make sure they were
all cover both algorithms equally.
libfetchers uses `git_mempack_write_thin_pack` which was introduced in libgit2-1.9.0
This avoids error like:
../src/libfetchers/git-utils.cc: In member function ‘virtual void nix::GitRepoImpl::flush()’:
../src/libfetchers/git-utils.cc:270:13: error: ‘git_mempack_write_thin_pack’ was not declared in this scope
270 | git_mempack_write_thin_pack(mempack_backend, packBuilder.get())
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
on older libgit2 (like 1.7.2 in Centos Stream 10)
If the reference for git+file is an annotated tag, the revision will
differ than when it's fetched using other fetchers such as `github:`
since Github seems to automatiacally peel to the underlying commit.
Turns out that rev-parse has the capability through it's syntax to
request the underlying commit by "peeling" using the `^{commit}` syntax.
This is safe to apply in all scenarios where the goal is to get an
underlying commit.

* It is tough to contribute to a project that doesn't use a formatter,
* It is extra hard to contribute to a project which has configured the formatter, but ignores it for some files
* Code formatting makes it harder to hide obscure / weird bugs by accident or on purpose,
Let's rip the bandaid off?
Note that PRs currently in flight should be able to be merged relatively easily by applying `clang-format` to their tip prior to merge.
Previously, `nix help shell` failed with "Nix has no subcommand 'shell'" despite `nix shell --help`
working correctly. This happened because the `shell` command is actually an alias for `env shell`,
and the help system wasn't resolving aliases when looking up documentation.
This patch modifies the `showHelp` function to check for and resolve aliases before generating the
manpage name, ensuring that shorthand commands like `shell` get proper help documentation.

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.
