this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.
this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.
test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:
- 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
- 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
- equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
(excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)
more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

with the prepatory work done this mostly means turning plain pointers
into unique_ptrs, with all the associated churn that necessitates. we
might want to change some of these to box_ptrs at some point as well,
but that would be a semantic change that isn't fully appropriate yet.

now that destructors are hooked up we want to give the C skeleton every
real chance to actually run them. since bison does not call destructors
on values that have been passed to semantic actions even when an action
causes an abort we will also have to delete some things manually still.

this doesn't help much yet since the state objects themselves also leak
all memory they are given, but it is a first necessary step to properly
managing parser memory. notably we have to clear $$ when returning from
the parser since even the start symbol is subject to automatic deletion
by the bison-generated parser before returning control to the call site

we now keep not a table of all positions, but a table of all origins and
their sizes. position indices are now direct pointers into the virtual
concatenation of all parsed contents. this slightly reduces memory usage
and time spent in the parser, at the cost of not being able to report
positions if the total input size exceeds 4GiB. this limit is not unique
to nix though, rustc and clang also limit their input to 4GiB (although
at least clang refuses to process inputs that are larger, we will not).
this new 4GiB limit probably will not cause any problems for quite a
while, all of nixpkgs together is less than 100MiB in size and already
needs over 700MiB of memory and multiple seconds just to parse. 4GiB
worth of input will easily take multiple minutes and over 30GiB of
memory without even evaluating anything. if problems *do* arise we can
probably recover the old table-based system by adding some tracking to
Pos::Origin (or increasing the size of PosIdx outright), but for time
being this looks like more complexity than it's worth.
since we now need to read the entire input again to determine the
line/column of a position we'll make unsafeGetAttrPos slightly lazy:
mostly the set it returns is only used to determine the file of origin
of an attribute, not its exact location. the thunks do not add
measurable runtime overhead.
notably this change is necessary to allow changing the parser since
apparently nothing supports nix's very idiosyncratic line ending choice
of "anything goes", making it very hard to calculate line/column
positions in the parser (while byte offsets are very easy).

this needs a string comparison because there seems to be no other way to
get that information out of bison. usually the location info is going to
be correct (pointing at a bad token), but since EOF isn't a token as
such it'll be wrong in that this case.
this hasn't shown up much so far because a single line ending *is* a
token, so any file formatted in the usual manner (ie, ending in a line
ending) would have its EOF position reported correctly.

previously we reported the error at the beginning of the binding
block (for plain inherits) or the beginning of the attr list (for
inherit-from), effectively hiding where exactly the error happened.
this also carries over to runtime positions of attributes in sets as
reported by unsafeGetAttrPos. we're not worried about this changing
observable eval behavior because it *is* marked unsafe, and the new
behavior is much more useful.

desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also
duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and
expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).

Cleanup `fmt.hh`

While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in
dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of
EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v))
we could write
TypeError(v, "boolean")
or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical
refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to
be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the
codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error
from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first
step towards error codes / an error index.
This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to
support exception types with different constructor signatures than
`BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data
will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to
touch every exception in `libexpr`).
The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this:
state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow<TypeError>()
are transformed like this:
state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow()
The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to
`EvalState::error`.

these symbols are used a *lot*, so it makes sense to cache them. this
mostly increases clarity of the code (however clear one may wish to call
the parser desugaring here), but it also provides a small performance
benefit.

there's no reason the parser itself should be doing semantic analysis
like bindVars. split this bit apart (retaining the previous name in
EvalState) and have the parser really do *only* parsing, decoupled from
EvalState.

most EvalState and Expr members defined here could be elsewhere, where
they'd be easier to maintain (not being embedded in a file with arcane
syntax) and *somewhat* more faithfully placed according to the path of
the file they're defined in.

most instances of this being used do not refer to the "current"
position, sometimes not even to one reasonably close by. it could also
be called `makePos` instead, but `at` seems clear in context.

ParserState better describes what this struct really is. the parser
really does modify its state (most notably position and symbol tables),
so calling it that rather than obliquely "data" (which implies being
input only) makes sense.

since nix doesn't use the bison `error` terminal anywhere any invocation
of yyerror will immediately cause a failure. since we're *already*
leaking tons of memory whatever little bit bison allocates internally
doesn't much matter any more, and we'll be replacing the parser soon anyway.
coincidentally this now also matches the error behavior of URIs when
they are disabled or ~/ paths in pure eval mode, duplicate attr
detection etc.

This function is now trivial enough that it doesn't need to exist.
`EvalState` can still be initialized with a custom search path, but we
don't have a need to mutate the search path after it has been
constructed, and I don't see why we would need to in the future.

I got very confused trying to keep all the `first` and `second` straight
reading the code, *especially* as there is also another `(boolean,
string)` pair type also being used.
Named fields is much better.
There are other cleanups that we can do (for example, the existing
TODO), but we can do them later. Doing them now would just make this
harder to review.

Previously, for tarball flakes, we recorded the original URL of the
tarball flake, rather than the URL to which it ultimately
redirects. Thus, a flake URL like
http://example.org/patchelf-latest.tar that redirects to
http://example.org/patchelf-<revision>.tar was not really usable. We
couldn't record the redirected URL, because sites like GitHub redirect
to CDN URLs that we can't rely on to be stable.
So now we use the redirected URL only if the server returns the
`x-nix-is-immutable` or `x-amz-meta-nix-is-immutable` headers in its
response.

This introduces the SourcePath type from lazy-trees as an abstraction
for accessing files from inputs that may not be materialized in the
real filesystem (e.g. Git repositories). Currently, however, it's just
a wrapper around CanonPath, so it shouldn't change any behaviour. (On
lazy-trees, SourcePath is a <InputAccessor, CanonPath> tuple.)

This is needed in subsequent commits to allow the settings and CLI args
infrastructure itself to read this setting.

We are looking for *$ because it indicate that it was constructed with a new but
not release. De-referencing shallow copy so deleting as whole might create
dangling pointer that's why we move it so we delete a empty containers + the
nice perf boost.

This makes the position object used in exceptions abstract, with a
method getSource() to get the source code of the file in which the
error originated. This is needed for lazy trees because source files
don't necessarily exist in the filesystem, and we don't want to make
libutil depend on the InputAccessor type in libfetcher.
