Previously, Nix would not create a cache entry for substituted/cached
inputs
This led to severe slowdowns in some scenarios where a large input (like
Nixpkgs) had already been unpacked to the store but didn't exist in a
users cache, as described in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11228
Using the same method as https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12911, we can
create a cache entry for the fingerprint of substituted/cached inputs
and avoid this problem entirely
Enables builds with ASAN to catch memory corruption
bugs faster and in CI. This is an incredibly valuable
instrument that must be used as much as possible.
Somewhat based on jade's work from Lix, though there's a lot that
we have to do differently:

See #13570 for details --- the idea is that included the store dir in
store paths makes systematic JSON parting with e.g. Serde, Aeson,
nlohmann, or similiar harder.
After talking to Eelco, we are changing the `Derivation` format right
away because not only is `nix derivation` technically experimental, we think it is
also less widely used in practice than, say, `nix path-info`.
Progress on #13570
Since `nix flake check` doesn't produce a `result` symlink, it doesn't
actually need to build/substitute derivations that are already known
to have succeeded, i.e. that are substitutable.
This can speed up CI jobs in cases where the derivations have already
been built by other jobs. For instance, a command like
nix flake check github:NixOS/hydra/aa62c7f7db31753f0cde690f8654dd1907fc0ce2
should no longer build anything because the outputs are already in
cache.nixos.org.

With the migration to /nix/var/nix/builds we now have failing builds
when the derivation name is too long.
This change removes the derivation name from the temporary build to have
a predictable prefix length:
Also see: https://github.com/NixOS/infra/pull/764
for context.
Compilers in nixpkgs have caught up and major distros
should also have recent enough compilers. It would be
nice to have newer features like more full featured
ranges and deducing this.
Fix description of `NIX_CONF_DIR`. It currently say that it defaults to `prefix/etc/nix`, which would mean `/nix/etc/nix` on default installations, and contradicts the description in `conf-file-prefix.md`.
This fix makes the description of `NIX_CONF_DIR` consistent with `conf-file-prefix.md`, assuming that the latter is correct.
* Adds support for NIX_SSHOPTS
* Properly uses the parsed port from URL (fixes#13337)
* Don't guess the HTTP endpoint, use the response of git-lfs-authenticate
* Add an SSH Git LFS test
* Removed some unused test code
This patch allows users to specify the connection port
in the store URLS like so:
```
nix store info --store "ssh-ng://localhost:22" --json
```
Previously this failed with: `error: failed to start SSH connection to 'localhost:22'`,
because the code did not distinguish the port from the hostname. This
patch remedies that problem by introducing a ParsedURL::Authority type
for working with parsed authority components of URIs.
Now that the URL parsing code is less ad-hoc we can
add more long-awaited fixes for specifying SSH connection
ports in store URIs.
Builds upon the work from bd1d2d1041.

Prior patches in 54dc5314e8
and 6db6190002 fixed the default
system double for i686 and ppc/ppc64. This also patch also covers
32 bit arm and mips. ARM cpu names are taken from host_machine.cpu()
for a lack of a better option, but host_machine.cpu_family() is
preferred, since that is supposed to be somewhat standard for cross
files. Endianness is handled correctly by looking at host_machine.endian().
This also updates the documentation to be up to date to how system cpu
is translated from the host_machine specification.
For regular, non-executable files, there is no str("") between str("regular")
and str("contents"). Note that str("") is exactly 8 zero bytes, while just ""
is actual empty string (0 bytes).
