The empty attribute name should not be dropped from attribute paths.
Rendering attribute paths with concatStringsSep is lossy and wrong,
but this is just a first improvement while dealing with the
dropEmptyInitThenConcatStringsSep problem.
Known behavior changes:
- `MemorySourceAccessor`'s comparison operators no longer forget to
compare the `SourceAccessor` base class.
Progress on #10832
What remains for that issue is hopefully much easier!
- Fix eval cache not being persisted in `nix develop` (since #10570)
- Don't attempt to commit cache transaction if there is no active transaction, which will spew errors in edge cases
- Drive-by: trivial typo fix
Progress on #5638
There are still a global fetcher and eval settings, but they are pushed
down into `libnixcmd`, which is a lot less bad a place for this sort of
thing.
Continuing process pioneered in

move together all syntactic and semantic information into one
page, and add a page on data types, which in turn links to the syntax and
semantics.
also split out the note on scoping rules into its own page.

Fixes assertion failure if outputsToInstall is empty by defaulting to the "out"
output. That is, behavior between the following commands should be consistent:
$ nix build --no-link --json .#nothing-to-install-no-out
error: derivation '/nix/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-nothing-to-install-no-out.drv' does not have wanted outputs 'out'
$ nix build --no-link --file default.nix --json nothing-to-install-no-out
error: derivation '/nix/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-nothing-to-install-no-out.drv' does not have wanted outputs 'out'
Real-world example of this issue:
$ nix build --json .#.legacyPackages.aarch64-linux.texlive.pkgs.iwona
error: derivation '/nix/store/dj0h6b0pnlnan5nidnhqa0bmzq4rv6sx-iwona-0.995b.drv' does not have wanted outputs 'out'
$ git rev-parse HEAD
eee33247cf6941daea8398c976bd2dda7962b125
$ nix build --json --file . texlive.pkgs.iwona
nix: src/libstore/outputs-spec.hh:46: nix::OutputsSpec::Names::Names(std::set<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char> >&&): Assertion `!empty()' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
This turns errors like:
error: flake output attribute 'hydraJobs' is not a derivation or path
into errors like:
error: expected flake output attribute 'hydraJobs' to be a derivation or
path but found a set: { binaryTarball = «thunk»; build = «thunk»; etc> }
This change affects all InstallableFlake commands.

Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.
The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.
Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

In addition:
- Take the opportunity to add a bunch more missing hyperlinks, too.
- Remove some glossary entries that are now subsumed by dedicated pages.
We used to not be able to do this without breaking link fragments, but
now we can, so pick up where we left off.
