libstore/build: use an allowlist approach to syscall filtering
Previously, system call filtering (to prevent builders from storing files with
setuid/setgid permission bits or extended attributes) was performed using a
blocklist. While this looks simple at first, it actually carries significant
security and maintainability risks: after all, the kernel may add new syscalls
to achieve the same functionality one is trying to block, and it can even be
hard to actually add the syscall to the blocklist when building against a C
library that doesn't know about it yet. For a recent demonstration of this
happening in practice to Nix, see the introduction of fchmodat2 [0] [1].

The allowlist approach does not share the same drawback. While it does require
a rather large list of harmless syscalls to be maintained in the codebase,
failing to update this list (and roll out the update to all users) in time has
rather benign effects; at worst, very recent programs that already rely on new
syscalls will fail with an error the same way they would on a slightly older
kernel that doesn't support them yet. Most importantly, no unintended new ways
of performing dangerous operations will be silently allowed.

Another possible drawback is reduced system call performance due to the larger
filter created by the allowlist requiring more computation [2]. However, this
issue has not convincingly been demonstrated yet in practice, for example in
systemd or various browsers. To the contrary, it has been measured that the the
actual filter constructed here has approximately the same overhead as a very
simple filter blocking only one system call.

This commit tries to keep the behavior as close to unchanged as possible. The
system call list is in line with libseccomp 2.5.5 and glibc 2.39, which are the
latest versions at the point of writing. Since libseccomp 2.5.5 is already a
requirement and the distributions shipping this together with older versions of
glibc are mostly not a thing any more, this should not lead to more build
failures any more.

c7af89c797 change shebangs of all .sh scripts to bash
On operating systems where /bin/sh is not Bash, some scripts are invalid
because of bashisms, and building Lix fails with errors like this:
`render-manpage.sh: 3: set: Illegal option -o pipefail`
This modifies all scripts that use a `/bin/sh` shebang to `/usr/bin/env
bash`, including currently POSIX-compliant ones, to prevent any future
confusion.

keep adding more stuff to it to make it harder to review.

24057dcb6a Remove rl-next-dev
We realized that there's really no good place to put these dev facing
bulletins, and the user-facing release notes aren't really the worst
place to put them, I guess, and we do kind of hope that it converts
users to devs.

03655c310d build-release-notes: fail if the directory does not exist
This was a combination of two problems: the python didn't throw an error
because apparently glob on a nonexistent directory doesn't crash, and
secondarily, bash ignores bad exit codes without `set -e` if they are
not in the final/only command.

58ff8960cd doc: add a script to upload the nightly manual manually
This is not like, perfect, since it is a manual operation, but we can
automate it in the future. rclone is used, since it seems like awscli is
not (obviously at least?) able to sync directories such that old things
are deleted, and rclone does this thing properly.

d9bc197ff4 docs: don't compute rl-next.md during build
not sure why this was done the way it was considering that includes are
a feature the doc toolchain had previously. let's just always have some
kind of entry for the upcoming release in the dev manual builds even if
that means having a completely empty release notes chapter.

the release notes generation script isn't entirely functional right now
due to pre-commit hooks, but it's good enough for time being. we need a
better release process for notes anyway.

check-executables-have-shebangs..........................................Passed

- hook id: check-headers
- exit code: 1

Missing pattern @file in file src/libexpr/value.hh

We found some header files that don't conform to the style guide.

The Lix style guide requests that header files:
- Begin with `#pragma once` so they only get parsed once
- Contain a doxygen comment (`/**` or `///`) containing `@file`, for
  example, `///@file`, which will make doxygen generate docs for them.

  When adding that, consider also adding a `@brief` with a sentence
  explaining what the header is for.

7a1054fa5f repl: improve :doc builtin repl command to support lambdas.
For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on
builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments
on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that
information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way.

NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended
to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is
experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here.

These changes are based on [the nix-doc library](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc) and
are licensed under the terms described in the relevant source files.

412a9c9f67 Enable clang build timing analysis
I didn't enable this by default for clang due to making the build time
10% worse or so. Unfortunate, but tbh devs for whom 10% of build time is
not *that* bad should probably simply enable this.

279e30e7ef build: replace changelog-d with local script
hacking changelog-d to support not just github but also forgejo and
gerrit is a lot more complicated than it's worth, even moreso since
the entire thing can just as well be done with ~60 lines of python.
this new script is also much cheaper to instantiate (being python),
so having it enabled in all shells is far less of a hassle.

we've also adjusted existing release notes that referenced a gerrit
cl to auto-link to the cl in question, making the diff a bit bigger

in order to make the development process more transparent for everyone,
all pull requests should go through the triage process before getting
merged.

this ensures that all team members are aware of what is going on, and
that rationale for decisions is kept track of in the meeting notes for
posterity. (ideally all that should go into the commit history, but this
is a more invasive process change that needs further deliberation.)

having all team members take at least a brief but conscious look at each
change may also help with keeping our quality standards, as more
reviewers are more likely to remind each other of our shared values.
