Backward-compatible schema changes (e.g. those that add tables or
nullable columns) now no longer need a change to the global schema
file (/nix/var/nix/db/schema). Thus, old Nix versions can continue to
access the database.
This is especially useful for schema changes required by experimental
features. In particular, it replaces the ad-hoc handling of the schema
changes for CA derivations (i.e. the file /nix/var/nix/db/ca-schema).
Schema versions 8 and 10 could have been handled by this mechanism in
a backward-compatible way as well.
This caused nlohmann/json.hpp to leak into a lot of compilation units,
which is slow (when not using precompiled headers).
Cuts build time from 46m24s to 42m5s (real time with -j24: 2m42s to
2m24s).
These versions are more than 3 years old and were very early in the
existence of CA derivations support (which was and is experimental),
so they're unlikely to still exist in the real world. So let's get rid
of support for them.
Following what is outlined in #10766 refactor the uds-remote-store such
that the member variables (state) don't live in the store itself but in
the config object.
Additionally, the config object includes a new necessary constructor
that takes a scheme & authority.
Tests are commented out because of linking errors with the current config system.
When there is a new config system we can reenable them.

The old `std::variant` is bad because we aren't adding a new case to
`FileIngestionMethod` so much as we are defining a separate concept ---
store object content addressing rather than file system object content
addressing. As such, it is more correct to just create a fresh
enumeration.

In particular `local://<path>` and `unix://` (without any path) now
work, and mean the same things as `local` and `daemon`, respectively. We
thus now have the opportunity to desguar `local` and `daemon` early.
This will allow me to make a change to
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9839 requested during review to
desugar those earlier.

This is useful for diagnosing whether an evaluation is copying large
paths to the store. Example:
$ nix build .#packages.x86_64-linux.default --large-path-warning-threshold 1000000

At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands

Instead, serialize as NAR and send that over, then rehash sever side.
This is alorithmically simpler, but comes at the cost of a newer
parameter to `Store::addToStoreFromDump`.

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)
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.

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.)

resizing a std::string clears the newly added bytes, which is not
necessary here and comes with a ~1.4% slowdown on our test nixos config.
