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.
There have been prior concerns about reogranizing the repo, but
this seems like a trivial simplification which will not interfere
with either our packaging or the modular builds in nixpkgs.
This keeps things fast by making the function inline, but also prevents
people from having to know about the `0xFF` implementation detail
directly, instead making one go through a `std::optional` (which could be
fused away with a sufficiently smart compiler).
Additionally, the base "nix32" implementation is moved to its own header
file pair, as it is logically distinct and prior to the `Hash` data
type. It would probably be nice to do this with all the hash format
implementations.
Some binary caches (incorrectly) use this header to indicate lack of
compression, inspired by the valid "identity" token in the
"Accept-Encoding" header.
This benchmark should provide a relatively realistic
scenario for reference scanning.
As shown by the following results, reference scanning code
is already plenty fast and is definitely not a bottleneck:

The changes include:
* Defining nix32Chars as a constexpr char[].
* Adding a constexpr std::array<unsigned char, 256> (reverseNix32Map) to map characters to their base-32 digit values at compile time.
* Replacing the slow character search loop with a direct lookup using reverseNix32Map.
* Removing std::once_flag/isBase32 logic in references.cc in favor of reverseNix32Map

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

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.
fixes#11266
Boost.URL is a significantly more RFC-compliant parser
than what libutil currently has a bundle of incomprehensible
regexes.
One aspect of this change is that RFC4007 ZoneId IPv6 literals
are represented in URIs according to RFC6874 [1].
Previously they were represented naively like so: [fe80::818c:da4d:8975:415c\%enp0s25].
This is not entirely correct, because the percent itself has to be pct-encoded:
> "%" is always treated as
an escape character in a URI, so, according to the established URI
syntax [RFC3986] any occurrences of literal "%" symbols in a URI MUST
be percent-encoded and represented in the form "%25". Thus, the
scoped address fe80::a%en1 would appear in a URI as
http://[fe80::a%25en1].

The myriad of hand-rolled URL parsing and validation code
is a constant source of problems. Regexes are not a great way
of writing parsers and there's a history of getting them wrong.
Boost.URL is a good library we can outsource most of the heavy
lifting to.
* 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.
