When sandboxing is disabled, we cannot put $TMPDIR underneath an
inaccessible directory.

Previously, the .chroot directory had permission 750 or 755 (depending
on the uid-range system feature) and was owned by root/nixbld. This
makes it possible for any nixbld user (if uid-range is disabled) or
any user (if uid-range is enabled) to inspect the contents of the
chroot of an active build and maybe interfere with it (e.g. via /tmp
in the chroot, which has 1777 permission).
To prevent this, the root is now a subdirectory of .chroot, which has
permission 700 and is owned by root/root.

With Nix 2.3, it was possible to pass a subpath of a store path to
exportReferencesGraph:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let
hello = writeShellScriptBin "hello" ''
echo ${toString builtins.currentTime}
'';
in
writeClosure [ "${hello}/bin/hello" ]
This regressed with Nix 2.4, with a very confusing error message, that
presumably indicates it was unintentional:
error: path '/nix/store/3gl7kgjr4pwf03f0x70dgx9ln3bhl7zc-hello/bin/hello' is not in the Nix store

Previously, the "file:./" prefix was not correctly recognized in
fixGitURL; instead, it was mistaken as a file path, which resulted in a
parsed url of the form "file://file:./".
This commit fixes the issue by properly detecting the "file:" prefix.
Note, however, that unlike "file://", the "file:./" URI is _not_
standardized, but has been widely used to referred to relative file
paths. In particular, the "git+file:./" did work for nix<=2.18, and was
broken since nix 2.19.0.
Finally, this commit fixes the issue completely for the 2.19 series, but
is still inadequate for the 2.20 series due to new behaviors from the
switch to libgit2. However, it does improve the correctness of parsing
even though it is not yet a complete solution.

Instead of running the builds under
`$TMPDIR/{unique-build-directory-owned-by-the-build-user}`, run them
under `$TMPDIR/{unique-build-directory-owned-by-the-daemon}/{subdir-owned-by-the-build-user}`
where the build directory is only readable and traversable by the daemon user.
This achieves two things:
1. It prevents builders from making their build directory world-readable
(or even writeable), which would allow the outside world to interact
with them.
2. It prevents external processes running as the build user (either
because that somehow leaked, maybe as a consequence of 1., or because
`build-users` isn't in use) from gaining access to the build
directory.
Bind-mounting symlinks is apparently not possible, which is why the
thing was failing.
Fortunately, symlinks are small, so we can fallback to copy them at no cost.

When querying all paths in a binary cache store, the path's representation
is `<hash>-x` (where `x` is the value of `MissingName`) because the .narinfo
filenames only contain the hash.
Before cc46ea1630 this worked correctly,
because the entire path info was read and the path from this
representation was printed, i.e. in the form `<hash>-<name>`. Since then
however, the direct result from `queryAllValidPaths()` was used as `path`.
Added a regression test to make sure the behavior remains correct.

This PR reduces the creation of short-lived basic_json objects while
parsing flake.lock files. For large flake.lock files (~1.5MB) I was
observing ~60s being spent for trivial nix build operations while
after this change it is now taking ~1.6s.

It is possible to exfiltrate a file descriptor out of the build sandbox
of FODs, and use it to modify the store path after it has been
registered.
To avoid that issue, don't register the output of the build, but a copy
of it (that will be free of any leaked file descriptor).
This makes something in Hydra bit simpler. If someday the default
depends on the other config options, we can always change it back.

Instead of

you now get

In rare cases (e.g. when using allowSubstitutes = false), it's
possible that we simultaneously have a DerivationGoal *and* a
SubstitutionGoal building the same path. So if a DerivationGoal
already built the path while the SubstitutionGoal was waiting for a
download slot, it saves us a superfluous download to exit early.
(cherry picked from commit dca0a80240)
In the "discard" case (i.e. when the store path already exists
locally), when we call parseDump() from a Finally and it throws an
exception (e.g. if the download of the NAR fails), Nix crashes:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'nix::SubstituteGone'
what(): error: file 'nar/06br3254rx4gz4cvjzxlv028jrx80zg5i4jr62vjmn416dqihgr7.nar.xz' does not exist in binary cache 'http://localhost'

Previously, IFDs would be built within the eval store, even though one
is typically using `--eval-store` precisely to *avoid* local builds.
Because the resulting Nix expression must be copied back to the eval
store in order to be imported, this requires the eval store to trust
the build store's signatures.
(cherry picked from commit c3942ef85f)
Shouldn't hurt to do this. In particular, this should speed up
shutting down the PathSubstitutionGoal thread if it's copying from a
remote store.

*N.B. Backport is modified not to change any call sites / behavior.*
This is needed for building CA deriations with a src store / dest store
split. In particular it is needed for Hydra.
https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/838 currently puts realizations,
and thus build outputs, in the local store, but it should not.

without knowing a lot of context, it's not clear who "we" are in that
text. I'm also strongly opposed to adding procedural notes into
a reference manual; it just won't age well.
this change leaves a factual description of the experimental feature and
its purpose.

Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:
- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
of Nix proper.
- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:
- It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
it needs the libraries.
- It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!
This reorg solves these problems.
There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/269064 makes rapidcheck be build

missing. This fixes that (and doesn't break Nix what the library is a
