Use `set -u` and `set -o pipefail` to catch accidental mistakes and
failures more strongly.
- `set -u` catches the use of undefined variables
- `set -o pipefail` catches failures (like `set -e`) earlier in the
pipeline.
This makes the tests a bit more robust. It is nice to read code not
worrying about these spurious success paths (via uncaught) errors
undermining the tests. Indeed, I caught some bugs doing this.
There are a few tests where we run a command that should fail, and then
search its output to make sure the failure message is one that we
expect. Before, since the `grep` was the last command in the pipeline
the exit code of those failing programs was silently ignored. Now with
`set -o pipefail` it won't be, and we have to do something so the
expected failure doesn't accidentally fail the test.
To do that we use `expect` and a new `expectStderr` to check for the
exact failing exit code. See the comments on each for why.
`grep -q` is replaced with `grepQuiet`, see the comments on that
function for why.
`grep -v` when we just want the exit code is replaced with `grepInverse,
see the comments on that function for why.
`grep -q -v` together is, surprise surprise, replaced with
`grepQuietInverse`, which is both combined.

Split `common.sh` into the vars and functions definitions vs starting
the daemon (and possibly other initialization logic). This way,
`init.sh` can just `source` the former. Trying to start the daemon
before `nix.conf` is written will fail because `nix daemon` requires
`--experimental-features 'nix-command'`.
`killDaemon` is idempotent, so it's safe to call when no daemon is
running.
`startDaemon` and `killDaemon` use the PID (which is now exported to
subshells) to decide whether there is work to be done, rather than
`NIX_REMOTE`, which might conceivably be set differently even if a
daemon is running.
`startDaemon` and `killDaemon` can save/restore the old `NIX_REMOTE` as
`NIX_REMOTE_OLD`.
`init.sh` kills daemon before deleting everything (including the daemon
socket).

`init.sh` is tested on its own. We used to do that. I deleted it in
4720853129b6866775edd9f90ad6f10701f98a3c but I am not sure why. Better
to just restore it; at one point working on this every other test
passed, so seems good to check whether `init.sh` can be run twice.
We don't *need* to run `init.sh` twice, but I want to try to make our
tests as robust as possible so that manual debugging (where tests for
better or worse might be run ways that we didn't expect) is less
fragile.

When `NIX_DAEMON_PACKAGE` is set, make all the tests use the Nix daemon.
That way we can test every piece of Nix functionality both with and
without the daemon.
Tests for which using the daemon isn’t possible or doesn’t make sens can
selectively be disabled with `needLocalStore`

Hopefully this helps to diagnose 'error: unexpected EOF reading a
line' on macOS.

Otherwise https://cache.nixos.org is chosen by default, causing the OSX
testsuite to hang inside the sandbox.
(In a way, this is probably rugging an actual bug under the carpet as
Nix should be able to gracefully timeout in such a case, but that's
beyond mac OSX-fu)

This reduces the amount of disk space needed to run the tests from
half a gigabyte to 10 megabytes.

This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea59049f861aaba429f48b828d0820b74d1d).

Experimental features are now opt-in. There is currently one
experimental feature: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix"
command. This will allow us to merge experimental features more
quickly, without committing to supporting them indefinitely.
Typical usage:
$ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello
(cherry picked from commit 8e478c234100cf03ea1b777d4bd42a9be7be9e8c,
without the "flakes" feature)

In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are
pointless. So now you can say
nix build --no-sandbox

nix build --no-build-use-sandbox

These actually run as root in a VM, so they get confused.

Ensuring that the tests work from the build tree requires a growing
number of nasty hacks. The tests also don't verify that the installed
Nix actually works. Thus, the tests now require "make install" to
have been run.

Nix now requires SQLite and bzip2 to be pre-installed. SQLite is
detected using pkg-config. We required DBD::SQLite anyway, so
depending on SQLite is not a big problem.
The --with-bzip2, --with-openssl and --with-sqlite flags are gone.
