E.g. in a derivation attribute `foo = ./bar`, if ./bar is a symlink,
we should copy the symlink to the store, not its target. This restores
the behaviour of Nix <= 2.19.

This does not include any automation for the release branch, but
is based on the configuration of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12349
pre-commit run -a nixfmt-rfc-style
And handle relative 'git+file:' flakerefs while we're at it (these
crashed with an assertion failure).
Fixes#12248.

Relative, local git repo used to work (for submodules), but it
fails after 3e0129ce3b.
This commit adds a test to prevent such failure in the future.
(cherry picked from commit 9d088fa502)
Commands like `nix flake metadata '.?submodules=1'` ignored the query
part of the URL, while `nix build '.?submodules=1#foo'` did work
correctly because of the presence of the fragment part.

I'd messed up a rebase in my previous iteration, causing `weakly_canonical` to reappear,
but not trigger a test failure.
These two functions behave similarly when the argument is a path that points to a broken
symlink. `weakly_canonical` would not resolve it because the target doesn't exist, and
`makeParentCanonical` would not resolve it, because it never resolves the final path
element.
This new test case now also tests a valid symlink, "differentiating" the two.

Before this change, expressions like:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
runCommand "foo" {} ''
echo '@nix {}' >&$NIX_LOG_FD
''
would result in Lix crashing, because accessing nonexistent fields of
a JSON object throws an exception.
Rather than handling each field individually, we just catch JSON
exceptions wholesale. Since these log messages are an unusual
circumstance, log a warning when this happens.
Fixes#544.

It seems that I copied the expression for baseDir thoughtlessly and
did not come back to it.
- `baseDir` was only used in the `fromArgs` branch.
- `fromArgs` is true when `packages` is true.

This may occur when stderr is a tty but stdin is empty.
E.g.
$ nix build </dev/null
error: unexpected EOF reading a line
These stdio handles are how some non-interactive sandboxes behave,
including the Nix build sandbox and Hercules CI Effects.
