Seccomp filtering and the no-new-privileges functionality improve the security
of the sandbox, and have been enabled by default for a long time. In
https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/265 it was decided that they
should be enabled unconditionally. Accordingly, remove the allow-new-privileges
(which had weird behavior anyway) and filter-syscall settings, and force the
security features on. Syscall filtering can still be enabled at build time to
support building on architectures libseccomp doesn't support.

`meson test` refuses to let `--verbose` (which shows the entire
invocation and stdio) override `--quiet`, but if neither are specified
in the justfile then you can use either `just test -q` or `just test -v`

Embarrassingly, I submitted a CL overriding submit requirements since
I thought it was spurious failures. However, the CI failure was in fact
real, and I have hopefully learned my lesson. The CI failure is that:
```
vm-test-run-nix-upgrade-nix> machine # installing 'nix-2.18.1'
vm-test-run-nix-upgrade-nix> machine # building '/nix/store/2b6fdf7wvahd00bg2ff0393bhd597a0h-user-environment.drv'...

```
This is definitely caused by the pname not being the same, so we had
better revert that part of the change until we know we won't regress
anything by doing this.

* changes:
docs: linkify nix3-build mention in nix-build.md
build: make internal-api-docs PHONY
cleanup lookupFileArg
add docstring to lookupFileArg
add libcmd test for lookupFileArg
This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if
someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not
mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code.
We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so
we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this
requires a little more effort.
This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h.
Migration path:
expr.hh -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh
nix/config.h -> lix/config.h
To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from
includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then,
the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the
clang-tidy automated fix will work.
Then run the following for out of tree projects:
```
lix_root=$HOME/lix
(cd $lix_root/clang-tidy && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build')
run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/clang-tidy/build/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -fix src
```

Since we're skipping Meson's dependency tracking, for the
internal-api-docs custom target, we should just consider it a phony
target and build it on every request.

File not found while importing causes a SysError, not an EvalError,
which is not currently caught by the tab-completion handler. Ignoring
all SysErrors might seem "dangerous" but this is the tab-completion
handler, any exception being bubbled up from there causes unexpected
behavior (causes the whole repl to exit).
Fixes#340.

nixpkgs has 23000 attributes, and our previous limit would be hit if you
have more than one nixpkgs in the environment, for example, because
`repl-overlays` will load the new stuff from the environment on top of
the existing environment.
This is not really testable since if we did write such a test, it would
just be testing this constant tbh...

Also fix typos introduced by the commits I read.
I have run the addDrvOutputDependencies release note past Ericson since
I was confused by what the heck it was doing, and he was saying it was
reasonable.

nix::fetchers::CacheImpl uses $XDG_CACHE_HOME, or its default based on
$HOME, to store its SQLite database. If the current process can't write
to that directory for whatever reason, though, any eval-time fetching
would fail just initializing the cache.
With this change, IO errors initializing the fetcher cache are logged
but ignored, and nix::fetchers::CacheImpl falls back to an in-memory¹
database instead.
Notably, this will fix any uses eval fetching while Lix itself is being
run in a derivation builder (such as during tests), as the derivation
builder does not set $XDG_CACHE_HOME, and sets $HOME to the non-existent
directory /homeless-shelter.
Before:
$ env -u XDG_CACHE_HOME HOME=/homeless-shelter nix -Lv eval --impure -E 'fetchTarball "https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/archive/main.tar.gz"'
error:

This turns errors like:
error: flake output attribute 'hydraJobs' is not a derivation or path
into errors like:
error: expected flake output attribute 'hydraJobs' to be a derivation or
path but found a set: { binaryTarball = «thunk»; build = «thunk»; etc> }
This change affects all InstallableFlake commands.

Passing the commit message as an argument causes update failures on repositories with
lots of flake inputs. In some cases, the commit message is over 250,000 bytes.
