Just now there is a dependency on cachix, which means we cannot test
the installer in CI if forks do not have the necessary secrets set up.
We replace this with a simple http server that serves the installer and
can be both used in CI and locally.
- This speeds up macOS builds from 30 minutes to 11 minutes (3x faster).
- Also improve error reporting e.g. printing out what actually failed to build.
- As a result we also no longer need swap.
As far as I can tell, there's no real reason either of these need to
be 664. I'm willing to bet they were just a typo that has lasted for
7 years. While this shouldn't change anything, this is, IMHO, more
correct, so let's stop perpetuating the wrong mode!
The Determinate Nix Installer has set nosuid and noatime in https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/1338, and figured this perf and security improvement is worthy of upstreaming.
The /nix volume shouldn't have setuid binaries anyway, and filesystems seem to generally be noatime on macOS.
Further, the garbage collector doesn't use atime.
Was hoping to leave this enabled for a little while as core community
members test this script out, but Apple's aggressive release timeline
for macOS 15 Sequoia has caught us off-guard here.
It's probably not ideal for a general audience if the script spews all
of this output--and people can still force bash to run in trace mode
if we really need to debug a problem.
Meson-ify a few things, scripts, completions, etc. Should make our Meson
build complete except for docs.

Starting in macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS daemon UIDs are encroaching on our
default UIDs of 301-332. This commit relocates our range up to avoid
clashing with the current UIDs of 301-304 and buy us a little time
while still leaving headroom for people installing more than 32 users.
While we don't have any easy way to forcibly notify everyone about the
impending breakage (or forcibly migrate the users on their system),
this script enables those who do hear about the problem to migrate
their systems before they take the macOS update.
It should also enable people who only discover it after the update
when a build fails to ~fix their installs without a full reinstall.
Different parts of the project honor different sets of proxy environment
variables. With this commit all parts of the project will honor the same
set of proxy environment variables.

The script at `/nix/store/...-nix-2.21.0/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh` was leaving behind a variable, which was visible in the user's shell environment, but not used outside the script.
