This reverts commit bdbc739d6e.
Such a change needs more thought put into it. By versioning
shared libraries we'd make a false impression that libraries
themselves are actually versioned and have some sort of stable
ABI, which is not the case.
This will be useful when C bindings become stable, but as long
as they are experimental it does not make sense to set SONAME.
Also this change should not have been backported, since it's
severely breaking.
These constant Values have no business being in the EvalState in the
first place. The ultimate goal is to get rid of the ugly `getBuiltins`
and its relience (in `createBaseEnv`) on these global constants is getting in the way.
Same idea as in f017f9ddd3.

This object is always constant and will never get modified.
Having it as a global (constant) static is much easier and
unclutters the EvalState.
Same idea as in f017f9ddd3.

Since the only construction and push_back() calls
to Bindings happen through the `BindingsBuilder` [1] we don't
need to keep `capacity` around on the heap anymore. This saves 8 bytes
(because of the member alignment padding)
per one Bindings allocation. This isn't that much, but it does
save significant memory.
This also shows that the Bindings don't necessarily have to
be mutable, which opens up opportunities for doing small bindings
optimization and storing a 1-element Bindings directly in Value.
For the following scenario:
nix-env --query --available --out-path --file ../nixpkgs --eval-system x86_64-linux
(nixpkgs revision: ddcddd7b09a417ca9a88899f4bd43a8edb72308d)
This patch results in reduction of `sets.bytes` 13115104016 -> 12653087640,
which amounts to 462 MB less bytes allocated for Bindings.
[1]: Not actually, `getBuiltins` does mutate bindings, but this is pretty
inconsequential and doesn't lead to problems.
Now that Symbols are statically allocated at compile time with known IDs,
we can use switch statements instead of if-else chains for Symbol comparisons.
This provides better performance through compiler optimizations like jump tables.
Changes:
- Add public getId() method to Symbol class to access the internal ID
- Convert if-else chains comparing Symbol values to switch statements
in primops.cc's derivationStrictInternal function
- Simplify control flow by removing the 'handled' flag and moving the
default attribute handling into the switch's default case
The static and runtime Symbol IDs are guaranteed to match by the
copyIntoSymbolTable implementation which asserts this invariant.

In b70d22b `mkStringNoCopy()` was renamed to
`mkString()`, but this is a bit risky since in code like
vStringRegular.mkString("regular");
we want to be sure that the right overload is picked. (This is
especially problematic since the overload that takes an
`std::string_view` *does* allocate.) So let's be explicit.
(Rebased from https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11551)
The motivation for this change is two-fold:
1. Commonly used Symbol values can be referred to
quite often and they can be assigned at compile-time
rather than runtime.
2. This also unclutters EvalState constructor, which was
getting very long and unreadable.
Spiritually similar to https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2218,
though that patch doesn't allocate the Symbol at compile time.

This allows us to replace some very hacky and not correct string
concatentation in `HttpBinaryCacheStore`. It will especially be useful
with #13752, when today's hacks started to cause problems in practice,
not just theory.
Also make `fixGitURL` returned a `ParsedURL`.

This is needed to rearrange include order, but I also think it is a good
thing anyways, as we seek to reduce the use of global settings variables
over time.
This avoids problems with older versions of Nix that don't put the
caches in WAL mode. That's generally not a problem, until you do something like
nix build --print-out-paths ... | cachix
which deadlocks because cachix tries to switch the caches to truncate
mode, which requires exclusive access. But the first process cannot
make progress because the cachix process isn't reading from the pipe.
Compilers in nixpkgs have caught up and major distros
should also have recent enough compilers. It would be
nice to have newer features like more full featured
ranges and deducing this.
This addresses several changes from toml11 4.0 bump in
nixpkgs [1].
1. Added more regression tests for timestamp formats.
Special attention needs to be paid to the precision
of the subsecond range for local-time. Prior versions select the closest
(upwards) multiple of 3 with a hard cap of 9 digits.
2. Normalize local datetime and offset datetime to always
use the uppercase separator `T`. This is actually the issue
surfaced in [2]. This canonicalization is basically a requirement
by (a certain reading) of rfc3339 section 5.6 [3].
3. If using toml11 >= 4.0 also keep the old behavior wrt
to the number of digits used for subsecond part of the local-time.
Newer versions cap it at 6 digits unconditionally.

This was removed in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11152. However,
we need it for the multi-threaded evaluator, because otherwise Boehm
GC will crash while scanning the thread stack:

This is because it will use the stack pointer of the coroutine, so it
will scan a region of memory that doesn't exist, e.g.
Stack for thread 0x7ffea4ff96c0 is [0x7ffe80197af0w,0x7ffea4ffa000)
(where 0x7ffe80197af0w is the sp of the coroutine and 0x7ffea4ffa000
is the base of the thread stack).
We don't scan coroutine stacks, because currently they don't have GC
roots (there is no evaluation happening in coroutines). So there is
currently no need to restore the other parts of the original patch,
such as BoehmGCStackAllocator.
