Previously, Nix strings were represented as a Box (within Value)
pointing to a tuple of an optional context, and another Box pointing to
the actual string allocation itself. This is pretty inefficient, both in
terms of memory usage (we use 48 whole bytes for a None context!) and in
terms of the extra indirection required to get at the actual data. It
was necessary, however, because with native Rust DSTs if we had
something like `struct NixString(Option<NixContext>, BStr)` we could
only pass around *fat* pointers to that value (with the length in the
pointer) and that'd make Value need to be bigger (which is a waste of
both memory and cache space, since that memory would be unused for all
other Values).
Instead, this commit implements *manual* allocation of a packed string
representation, with the length *in the allocation* as a field past the
context. This requires a big old pile of unsafe Rust, but the payoff is
clear:

With this change it's no longer necessary to track the SourceCode
struct separately from the evaluation for error reporting: It's just
stored directly in the errors.
This also ends up resolving an issue in compiler::bindings, where we
cloned the Arc containing file references way too often. In fact those
clones probably compensate for all additional SourceCode clones during
error construction now.

C++ nix uses C-style zero-terminated char pointers to represent strings
internally - however, up to this point, tvix has used Rust `String` and
`str` for string values. Since those are required to be valid utf-8, we
haven't been able to properly represent all the string values that Nix
supports.
To fix that, this change converts the internal representation of the
NixString struct from `Box<str>` to `BString`, from the `bstr` crate -
this is a wrapper around a `Vec<u8>` with extra functions for treating
that byte vector as a "morally string-like" value, which is basically
exactly what we need.
Since this changes a pretty fundamental assumption about a pretty core
type, there are a *lot* of changes in a lot of places to make this work,
but I've tried to keep the general philosophy and intent of most of the
code in most places intact. Most notably, there's nothing that's been
done to make the derivation stuff in //tvix/glue work with non-utf8
strings everywhere, instead opting to just convert to String/str when
passing things into that - there *might* be something to be done there,
but I don't know what the rules should be and I don't want to figure
them out in this change.
To deal with OS-native paths in a way that also works in WASM for
tvixbolt, this also adds a dependency on the "os_str_bytes" crate.

The default behavior of string coercion in C++ Nix is to weakly coerce
and import to store if necessary. There is a flag to make it strongly
coerce (coerceMore) and a flag that controls whether path values have
the corresponding file/directory imported into the store before
returning the (store) path as a string (copyToStore). We need to
implement our equivalent to the copyToStore (import_paths) flag for the
benefit of weak coercions that don't import into the store (dirOf,
baseNameOf, readFile, ...) and strong coercions that don't import into
the store (toString).
This makes coerce_to_string as well as CoercionKind weirder and more
versatile, but prevents us from reimplementing parts of the coercion
logic constantly as can be seen in the case of baseNameOf.
Note that it is not possible to test this properly in //tvix/eval tests
due to the lack of an appropriate EvalIO implementation being available.
Tests should be added to //tvix/glue down the line.

After this commit, the only non-builtins uses of generators are:
- coerce_to_string() uses generators::request_enter_lambda()
- Thunk::force() uses generators::request_enter_lambda()
That's it! Once those two are taken care of, GenCo can become an
implementation detail of `builtins::BuiltinGen`. No more crazy
nonlocal flow control within the interpreter: if you've got a GenCo
floating around in your code it's because you're writing a builtin,
which isn't part of the core interpreter. The interpreter won't
need GenCos to talk to itself anymore.
Technically generators::request_path_import() is also used by
coerce_to_string(), but that's just because the io_handle happens to
be part of the VM. There's no recursion-depth issue there, so the
call doesn't need to go through the generator mechanism
(request_path_import() doesn't call back to the interpreter!)

LightSpan::Delayed was introduced in commit
bf286a54bc which claimed that "This
reduces the eval time for `builtins.length (builtins.attrNames
(import <nixpkgs> {}))` by *one third*!"
I am unable to reproduce this result. In fact, dropping the
LightSpan::Delayed variant of the enum makes eval of the same
expression slightly faster! I also tried a large evaluation
(pkgsCross...hello) and got similar results: slightly faster,
slightly less memory. See git footers.
I suspect that there was some unrelated horrific inefficiency that
has since been fixed. The avoided computation in `get_span()` is
nothing more than a binary search! If this were in fact a major
performance issue we could simply precompute the mapping from
CodeIdx to Span when the Chunk becomes immutable (i.e. at the end of
the compilation process, when compiler backtracking is no longer a
concern). Since a Span is just 64 bits this is not a space issue,
and since binary search is much simpler than compiling Nix
expressions it isn't a performance issue either.
Technically there is no longer any reason to have LightSpan since it
is now a single-variant enum. However there is no rush to remove
it, since Rust will optimize its representation into the same thing
you'd get if you replaced LightSpan by Span.

This commit rewrites Thunk::force() so that it is not (directly)
self-recursive. It maintains a Vec of all the
previously-encountered thunks which point to the one it is currently
forcing, rather than recursively calling itself.
Benefits:
- Short term:
This commit saves the cost of a round-trip through the generator
machinery for the generators::request_force() which is removed by
this commit.
- Medium term:
Once a similar transformation has been applied to nix_cmp(),
nix_add(), nix_eq(), and coerce_to_string(), those four functions,
along with Thunk::force(), will make non-tail calls only to each
other. They can then be merged into a single tail-recursive
function which does not use the generator machinery at all:
enum Task { Cmp, Add, Eq, CoerceToString, Force};
fn Value::walk(task:Task, v1:Value, v2:Value) {
// ...
- Long term:
The long-term goal here is to use generators **only for builtins**
and [Marionette]-style remote control of the VM. In other words:
use `async` for things that actually involve concurrency. Calls
from the VM to builtins can then be blocking calls, because even
cppnix will overflow the stack if you make a MAX_STACK_DEPTH-deep
recursive call which passes through a builtin at every stack frame
(e.g. `{ func = builtins.sort (a: b: ... func ...) ...}`).
This way the inner "tight loop" of the interpreter doesn't pay the
costs of `async` and generators. These costs manifest in terms
of: performance, complex nonlocal control flow, and language
impediments (async Rust is a restricted subset of real Rust, and
is missing things like traits).

I've noticed this behavior when writing the admittedly cursed test case
included in this CL. Alternatively we could use some sort of machinery
using `builtins.trace`, but I don't think we capture stderr anywhere.
I've elected to put this into the eval cache itself while C++ Nix does
it in builtins.import already, namely via `realisePath`. We don't have
an equivalent for this yet, since we don't support any kind of IfD, but
we could revise that later. In any case, it seems good to encapsulate
`ImportCache` in this way, as it'll also allow using file hashes as
identifiers, for example.
C++ Nix also does our equivalent of canon_path in `builtins.import`
which we still don't, but I suspect it hardly makes a difference.

When dealing with a formal argument in a function argument pattern that
has a default expression, there are two different things that can happen
at runtime: Either we select its value from the passed attribute
successfully or we need to use the default expression. Both of these may
be thunks and both of these may need finalisers. However, in the former
case this is taken care of elsewhere, the value will always be finalised
already if necessary. In the latter case we may need to finalise the
thunk resulting from the default expression. However, the thunk
corresponding to the expression may never end up in the local's stack
slot. Since finalisation goes by stack slot (and not constants), we need
to prevent a case where we don't fall back to the default expression,
but finalise anyways.
Previously, we worked around this by making `OpFinalise` ignore
non-thunks. Since finalisation of already evaluated thunks still
crashed, the faulty compilation of function pattern arguments could
still cause a crash.
As a new approach, we reinstate the old behavior of `OpFinalise` to
crash whenever encountering something that is either not a thunk or
doesn't need finalisation. This can also help catching (similar)
miscompilations in the future. To then prevent the crash, we need to
track whether we have fallen back or not at runtime. This is done using
an additional phantom on the stack that holds a new `FinaliseRequest`
value. When it comes to finalisation we check this value and
conditionally execute `OpFinalise` based on its value.
Resolves b/261 and b/265 (partially).

C++ Nix forces and typechecks the passed argument even if it is not
necessary in order to compute the return value of the function. I
discovered this when I thought our formals miscompilation might be that
we are too strict, but doesn't look like it in this case.

It's okay if these calls mutate some internal state inside an
implementation.

This grows the frame stack as the call stack grows, which yields *much*
better user-facing error messages.
I haven't measured the performance impact this has yet, for now I'm
still just trying to add more information to errors and then cut down
again where necessary.

This makes it possible for callers to control whether they can receive
partially evaluated values from an evaluation or not.
We're actually flipping the default behaviour to non-strict top-level
evaluation, which means that callers have to set `strict = true` on
the Evaluation to get the previous behaviour.

This is step 1 towards being able to use all 4 spans that we know when
dealing with infinite recursion. It tracks the span at which the
force of a thunk was first requested when constructing a blackhole, so
that we can highlight the spans of the first and second forces.
These are actually the least relevant spans, but the easiest to put in
place, more coming soon.

This produces traces in which we can see what kind of native code was
run. Note that these "names" are named after the generator message, so
these aren't *really* intended for end-user consumption, but we can
give them saner names later.
Example:
https://gist.github.com/tazjin/82b24e92ace8e821008954867ee05057
This already makes the traces a little easier to parse.

When emitting an error at runtime, the VM will now use the new
`NativeError` and `BytecodeError` error kinds (which just wrap inner
errors) to create a set of diagnostics to emit.
The primary diagnostic is emitted last, with `error` type (so it will
be coloured red in terminals), the other ones will be emitted with
`note` type, highlighting the causal chain.
Example:

This is currently quite verbose, and we can cut down on this further,
but the purpose of this commit is to surface more information first of
all before worrying about the exact display.
