This is more conceptually correct (the order does not matter), and also
matches what Hydra already does.
(Nix and Hydra matching is needed for dedup

More invariants are enforced in the type, and less state needs to be
stored in the main sink itself. The method here is roughly that known as
"session types".

This avoids split-on-whitespace errors:
- No more `bash -c` needed
- No more `shellEscape` needed
- `remote-program` ssh store setting also cleanly supports args (e.g.
`nix daemon`)
- `ssh` uses `--` to separate args for SSH from args for the command to
run.
and will help with Hydra dedup.
Some code taken from #6628.

Factor out `ServeProto::BasicClientConnection` for Hydra to share
- `queryValidPaths`: Hydra uses the lock argument differently than Nix,
so we un-hard-code it.
- `buildDerivationRequest`: Just the request half, as Hydra does some
things between requesting and responding.

Good to document these formats separately from commands that happen to
use them.
Eventually I would like this and `builtins.derivation` to refer to a
store section on derivations that is authoritative, but that doesn't yet
exist, and will take some time to make. So I think we're just best off
merging this now as is.

Return a value instead of throwing.
Rather than the more trivial refactor of wrapping the return value in
another std::optional, we retain the meaning of the outer optional:
"we know at least something."
So we have changed:
return nullopt -> return nullopt
throw InvalidPath -> return make_optional(nullptr)
return vpi -> return make_optional(vpi)
In rare cases (e.g. when using allowSubstitutes = false), it's
possible that we simultaneously have a DerivationGoal *and* a
SubstitutionGoal building the same path. So if a DerivationGoal
already built the path while the SubstitutionGoal was waiting for a
download slot, it saves us a superfluous download to exit early.
In the "discard" case (i.e. when the store path already exists
locally), when we call parseDump() from a Finally and it throws an
exception (e.g. if the download of the NAR fails), Nix crashes:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'nix::SubstituteGone'
what(): error: file 'nar/06br3254rx4gz4cvjzxlv028jrx80zg5i4jr62vjmn416dqihgr7.nar.xz' does not exist in binary cache 'http://localhost'
Aborted (core dumped)
Instead of having it be the default method in `Store` itself, have it be
the implementation in `DummyStore` and `LegacySSHStore`. Then just the
implementations which fail to provide the method pay the "penalty" of
dealing with the icky `unimplemented` function for non-compliance.
Picks up where #8217. Getting close to no `unsupported` in the `Store`
interface itself!
More progress on issue #5729.
This is useful for determining quickly which substituters to query.
An alternative would be for users to invoke the narinfo cache db directly,
so why do we need this change?
- It is easier to use. I believe Nix itself should also use it.
- This way, the narinfo cache db remains an implementation detail.
- Callers get to use the in-memory cache as well.
The data was (accidentally?) copied into a std::string,
even though the string is immediately converted into a std::string_view.
The code has been changed to construct a std::string_view directly,
such that one copy less happens.
Most of this is a `catch SysError` -> `catch SystemError` sed. This
is a rather pure-churn change I would like to get out of the way. **The
intersting part is `src/libutil/error.hh`.**
On Unix, we will only throw the `SysError` concrete class, which has
the same constructors that `SystemError` used to have.
On Windows, we will throw `WinError` *and* `SysError`. `WinError`
(which will be created in a later PR), will use a `DWORD` instead of
`int` error value, and `GetLastError()`, which is the Windows equivalent
of the `errno` machinery. Windows will *also* use `SysError` because
Window's "libc" (MSVCRT) implements the POSIX interface, and we use it
too.
As the docs describe, while we *throw* one of the 3 choices above (2
concrete classes or the alias), we should always *catch* `SystemError`.
This ensures no matter how the implementation changes for Windows (e.g.
between `SysError` and `WinError`) the catching logic stays the same
and stays correct.

Also move `SourcePath` into `libutil`.
These changes allow `error.hh` and `error.cc` to access source path and
position information, which we can use to produce better error messages
(for example, we could consider omitting filenames when two or more
consecutive stack frames originate from the same file).
This sets up infrastructure in libutil to allow for signing other than
by a secret key in memory. #9076 uses this to implement remote signing.
(Split from that PR to allow reviewing in smaller chunks.)

many paths need not be heap-allocated, and derivation env name/valye
pairs can be moved into the map.

the table is very small compared to cache sizes and a single indexed
load is faster than three comparisons.
