If you have the Nix store mounted from a nonlocal filesystem whose
exporter is not running as root, making the directory mode 000 makes it
inaccessible to that remote unprivileged user and therefore breaks the
build. (Specifically, I am running into this with a virtiofs mount using
Apple Virtualization.framework as a non-root user, but I expect the
same thing would happen with virtiofs in qemu on Linux as a non-root
user or with various userspace network file servers.)
Make the directory mode 500 (dr-x------) to make the sandbox work in
this use case, which explicitly conveys our intention to read and search
the directory. The code only works because root can already bypass
directory checks, so this does not actually grant more permissions to
the directory owner / does not make the sandbox less secure.

I'd messed up a rebase in my previous iteration, causing `weakly_canonical` to reappear,
but not trigger a test failure.
These two functions behave similarly when the argument is a path that points to a broken
symlink. `weakly_canonical` would not resolve it because the target doesn't exist, and
`makeParentCanonical` would not resolve it, because it never resolves the final path
element.
This new test case now also tests a valid symlink, "differentiating" the two.

tests/functional/help.sh calls nix-* commands with option --help
if nix is built without documentation the option --help throws an error
because the man page it wants to display is missing

Just now there is a dependency on cachix, which means we cannot test
the installer in CI if forks do not have the necessary secrets set up.
We replace this with a simple http server that serves the installer and
can be both used in CI and locally.

moved a few fields from `lowdown_opts` toa new `lowdown_opts_term`
struct. As a result the build started failing as:

The change adds version-based conditional to support both pre-1.4 and
1.4 forms of the initialization.

- This speeds up macOS builds from 30 minutes to 11 minutes (3x faster).
- Also improve error reporting e.g. printing out what actually failed to build.
- As a result we also no longer need swap.

Before this change, expressions like:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
runCommand "foo" {} ''
echo '@nix {}' >&$NIX_LOG_FD
''
would result in Lix crashing, because accessing nonexistent fields of
a JSON object throws an exception.
Rather than handling each field individually, we just catch JSON
exceptions wholesale. Since these log messages are an unusual
circumstance, log a warning when this happens.
Fixes#544.

We're getting more reports in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10985
It appears that something hasn't gone right process-wise.
I find this mistake not to be worth investigating, but rather something
to pay attention to going forward.
Let's nip this in the bud.
