2024-03-09Unify and refactor value printingeldritch horrors
Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in `libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in `libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color codes). This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a `PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked, and whether ANSI color codes are displayed. Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed; this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g. all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735) Please read the tests for example output. Future work: - It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps `builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would be useful when debugging Nix code. - It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`. (cherry picked from commit 0fa08b451682fb3311fe58112ff05c4fe5bee3a4, ) === Restore ambiguous value printer for `nix-instantiate` The Nix team has requested that this output format remain unchanged. I've added a warning to the man page explaining that `nix-instantiate --eval` output will not parse correctly in many situations.

2023-05-09libexpr: quote reserved keys when printingAlex Ameen
This fixes a bug in commands like `nix eval' which would emit invalid attribute sets if they contained reserved keywords such as "assert", "let", etc. These keywords will not be quoted when printed, making them valid expressions. All keywords recognized by the lexer are quoted except "or", which does not require quotation.
