In the FFI world we have many tools that are not gcc/clang and therefore
not always support the latest C standard. This fixes support with cffi

(cherry picked from commit 739418504c)
This ended up motivating a good deal of other infra improvements in
order to get Windows right:
- `OsString` to complement `std::filesystem::path`
- env var code for working with the underlying `OsString`s
- Rename `PATHNG_LITERAL` to `OS_STR`
- `NativePathTrait` renamed to `OsPathTrait`, given a character template
parameter until #9205 is complete.
Split `tests.cc` matching split of `util.{cc,hh}` last year.

It is not an error if queryPathInfo() indicates that a path does not
exist in the substituter.
Fixes#11198. This was broken in 846869da0e.

The test split matches PR #8920, so the utility files and tests files
are once again to 1-1. The string changes continues what was started in
PR #11093.

It was failing with:
error: AWS error fetching 'nix-cache-info': The specified bucket does not exist
because `S3BinaryCacheStoreImpl` had a `bucketName` field that
shadowed the inherited `bucketName from `S3BinaryCacheStoreConfig`.

We didn't even realize you *could* use this syntax with -E and -f, much
less that the attribute path could be *empty*.

* docs: unify documentation on search paths
- put all the information on search path semantics into `builtins.findFile`
- put all the information on determining the value of `builtins.nixPath` into the
`nix-path` setting
maybe `builtins.nixPath` is a better place for this, but those bits
can still be moved around now that it's all next to each other.
- link to the syntax page for lookup paths from all places that are
concerned with it
- add or clarify examples
- add a test verifying a claim from documentation
