This should help prevent some test stalls.
By default, multi-user.target does not imply that the network is fully up.

error: cannot enqueue a work item while the thread pool is shutting down
The ThreadPoolShutDown exception was hiding the reason for the thread
pool shut down, e.g.
error: cannot add path '/nix/store/03sl46khd8gmjpsad7223m32ma965vy9-fix-static.patch' because it lacks a signature by a trusted key

This allows RemoteStore::addMultipleToStore() to free the Source
objects early (and in particular the associated sinkToSource()
buffers). This should fix#7359. For example, memory consumption of
nix copy --derivation --to ssh-ng://localhost?remote-store=/tmp/nix --derivation --no-check-sigs \
/nix/store/4p9xmfgnvclqpii8pxqcwcvl9bxqy2xf-nixos-system-...drv
went from 353 MB to 74 MB.

Relative, local git repo used to work (for submodules), but it
fails after 3e0129ce3b.
This commit adds a test to prevent such failure in the future.

First the motivation: I recently faced a bug that I assume is coming
from the topoSortPaths function where the GC was trying to delete a
path having some alive referrers. I resolved this by manually deleting
the faulty path referrers using nix-store --query --referrers. I sadly
did not manage to reproduce this bug.
This bug alone is not a big deal. However, this bug is
triggering a cascading failure: invalidatePathChecked is throwing a
PathInUse exception. This exception is not catched and fails the whole GC
run. From there, the machine (a builder machine) was unable to GC its
Nix store, which led to an almost full disk with no way to
automatically delete the dead Nix paths.
Instead, I think we should log the error for the specific store path
we're trying to delete, specifying we can't delete this path because
it still has referrers. Once we're done with logging that, the GC run
should continue to delete the dead store paths it can delete.

This fixes segfaults with nix copy when there was an error processing
addMultipleToStore.
Running with ASAN/TSAN pointed at an use-after-free with threads from
the pool accessing the graph declared in processGraph after the function
was exiting and destructing the variables.
It turns out that if there is an error before pool.process() is called,
for example while we are still enqueuing tasks, then pool.process()
isn't called and threads are still left to run.
By creating the pool last we ensure that it is stopped first before
running other destructors even if an exception happens early.
[ lix porting note: nix does not name threads so the patch has been
adapted to not pass thread name ]

(cherry picked from commit afac093b34)
Some of the code before https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11351 did not
have the problem. What remains wasn't all that problematic, but is good
to have anyway.
