at least clang-tidy is not convinced that this initialized.
If this is not the case, the impact should be small and hopefully also
more robust if changed.
Before the change "illegal reference" was hard to interpret as it did
not mention what derivation actually hits it.
Today's `nixpkgs` example:
Before the change:
$ nix build --no-link -f. postgresql_14
...
error: derivation contains an illegal reference specifier 'man'
After the change:
$ nix build --no-link -f. postgresql_14
...
error: derivation '/nix/store/bxp6g57limvwiga61vdlyvhy7i8rp6wd-postgresql-14.15.drv' output check for 'lib' contains an illegal reference specifier 'man', expected store path or output name (one of [debug, dev, doc, lib, out])
(cherry picked from commit bbdc3197a9)

After the previous commit it should not be necessary. Furthermore, if we
*do* sleep, we'll exacerbate a race condition (in conjunction with
getting rid of the thread cancellation) that will cause test failures.

This was filed as https://github.com/nixos/nix/issues/7584, but as far
as I can tell, the previous solution of POLLHUP works just fine on macOS
14. I've also tested on an ancient machine with macOS 10.15.7, which
also has POLLHUP work correctly.
It's possible this might regress some older versions of macOS that have
a kernel bug, but I went looking through the history on the sources and
didn't find anything that looked terribly convincingly like a bug fix
between 2020 and today. If such a broken version exists, it seems pretty
reasonable to suggest simply updating the OS.

On https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8946, we faced a surprising
behaviour wrt. exception when using pthread_cancel. In a nutshell when
a thread is inside a catch block and it's getting pthread_cancel by
another one, then the original exception is bubbled up and crashes the
process.
We now poll on the notification pipe from the thread and exit when the
main thread closes its end. This solution does not exhibit surprising
behaviour wrt. exceptions.

See also Lix https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1605 which is very
similar by coincidence. Pulled a comment from that.

Remove the default ctor argument as it evidently makes catching
refactoring bugs much harder. `NixRepl` implementation lives completely
in `repl.cc`, so we can be as explicit as necessary.
It was first introduced in 19e0ce2c03
In Nix we only register the crash handler in main instead of initNix,
because library user may want to use their own crash handler.
