This implements a special back-compat shim to specifically allow
unbracketed IPv6 addresses in store references. This is something
that is relied upon in the wild and the old parsing logic accepted
both ways (brackets were optional). This patch restores this behavior.
As always, we didn't have any tests for this.
Addresses #13937.
`perf c2c` shows a lot of cacheline conflicts between purely read-only
Store methods (like `parseStorePath()`) and the Sync classes. So
allocate pathInfoCache separately to avoid that.
Calling `drainFD()` will hang if another process has the write side
open, since then the child won't get an EOF. This can happen if we
have multiple threads doing a build, since in that case another thread
may fork a child process that inherits the write side of the first
thread.
We could set O_CLOEXEC on the write side (using pipe2()) but it won't
help here since we don't always do an exec() in the child, e.g. in the
case of builtin builders. (We need a "close-on-fork", not a
"close-on-exec".)
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.
This is relied upon (specifically the `local` store) by existing
tooling [1] and we broke this in 3e7879e6df (which
was first released in 2.31).
To lessen the scope of the breakage we should not normalize "auto" references
and explicitly specified references like "local" or "daemon". It also makes
sense to canonicalize local://,daemon:// to be more compatible with prior
behavior.

Exactly why is is correct is a little subtle, because sometimes the
worker is owned by the worker. But the commit message in
e437b08250 explained the situation well
enough: I made that commit message part of the ABI docs, and now it
should be understandable to the next person.
Do this with a new `useHook` boolean we carefully make sure is set in
all cases. This change isn't really worthwhile by itself, but it allows
us to make further refactors (see later commits) which are
well-motivated.
