This was discussed in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8034. I
personally like `PRJ_ROOT`, which hopefully avoids some ambiguity
around with subflakes.
I only implemented this for `nix fmt` because it doesn't let you point
at a flake not on your filesystem.
macOS compilation fixes
This method does *not* create a new type of goal. We instead just make
`DerivationGoal` more sophisticated, which is much easier to do now that
`DerivationBuildingGoal` has been split from it (and so many fields are
gone, or or local variables instead).
This avoids the need for a secondarily trampoline goal that interacted
poorly with `addWantedOutputs`. That, I hope, will mean the bugs from
before do not reappear.
There may in fact be a reason to introduce such a trampoline in the
future, but it would only happen in conjunction with getting rid of
`addWantedOutputs`.
Restores the functionality (and tests) that was reverted in
f4f28cdd0e.

This change fixes a potential concurrency failure when accessing random
which is not thread safe.

This wires up the {pre,post}FunctionCallHook machinery
in EvalState::callFunction and migrates FunctionCallTrace
to use the new EvalProfiler mechanisms for tracing.
Note that branches when the hook gets called are marked with [[unlikely]]
as a hint to the compiler that this is not a hot path. For non-tracing
evaluation this should be a 100% predictable branch, so the performance
cost is nonexistent.
Some measurements to prove support this point:
```
nix build .#nix-cli
nix build github:nixos/nix/d692729759e4e370361cc5105fbeb0e33137ca9e#nix-cli --out-link before
```
(Before)
```
$ taskset -c 2,3 hyperfine "GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=16g before/bin/nix eval nixpkgs#gnome --no-eval-cache" --warmup 4
Benchmark 1: GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=16g before/bin/nix eval nixpkgs#gnome --no-eval-cache
Time (mean ± σ): 2.517 s ± 0.032 s [User: 1.464 s, System: 0.476 s]

```
(After)
```

This patch adds an EvalProfiler and MultiEvalProfiler that can be used
to insert hooks into the evaluation for the purposes of function tracing
(what function-trace currently does) or for flamegraph/tracy profilers.
See the following commits for how this is supposed to be integrated into
the evaluator and performance considerations.
Ensure relative path inputs are relative to the parent node's _actual_
`outPath`, instead of the subtly different `sourceInfo.outPath`.
Additionally, non-flake inputs now also have a `sourceInfo` attribute.
This fixes the relationship between `self.outPath` and
`self.sourceInfo.outPath` in some edge cases.
Fixes#13164
