This is supposed to firstly improve the docs as they are, and secondly
hint at how the core conceptual information ought to be moved to the
store derivation section of the manual.

(cherry picked from commit 637aa0944d)
- Some headers were completely redundant and have been removed.
- Other headers have been turned private.
- Unnecessary meson.build code has been removed.
- libutil-tests now has a private config header, where previously
it had none. This removes the need to expose a package version
macro publicly.

This makes it behave the same as nix-daemon. Opening the store in the
parent can cause a SIGBUS in libsqlite in the child:

I encountered this with a misconfigured libutil. I doubt that a
non-lutimes config is viable, because tests were failing.

Otherwise without the change the test fails on nix-2.26 as:
error: derivation contains an illegal reference specifier 'dev'
Note: the error message does not match intended change.
(cherry picked from commit 1e7c7244cf)
Before the change "illegal reference" was hard to interpret as it did
not mention what derivation actually hits it.
Today's `nixpkgs` example:
Before the change:
$ nix build --no-link -f. postgresql_14
...
error: derivation contains an illegal reference specifier 'man'
After the change:
$ nix build --no-link -f. postgresql_14
...
error: derivation '/nix/store/bxp6g57limvwiga61vdlyvhy7i8rp6wd-postgresql-14.15.drv' output check for 'lib' contains an illegal reference specifier 'man', expected store path or output name (one of [debug, dev, doc, lib, out])
(cherry picked from commit bbdc3197a9)
After the previous commit it should not be necessary. Furthermore, if we
*do* sleep, we'll exacerbate a race condition (in conjunction with
getting rid of the thread cancellation) that will cause test failures.

This was filed as https://github.com/nixos/nix/issues/7584, but as far
as I can tell, the previous solution of POLLHUP works just fine on macOS
14. I've also tested on an ancient machine with macOS 10.15.7, which
also has POLLHUP work correctly.
It's possible this might regress some older versions of macOS that have
a kernel bug, but I went looking through the history on the sources and
didn't find anything that looked terribly convincingly like a bug fix
between 2020 and today. If such a broken version exists, it seems pretty
reasonable to suggest simply updating the OS.

Based off of commit 69e2ee5b25752ba5fd8644cef56fb9d627ca4a64. Ericson2314 added
additional other information.

On https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8946, we faced a surprising
behaviour wrt. exception when using pthread_cancel. In a nutshell when
a thread is inside a catch block and it's getting pthread_cancel by
another one, then the original exception is bubbled up and crashes the
process.
We now poll on the notification pipe from the thread and exit when the
main thread closes its end. This solution does not exhibit surprising
behaviour wrt. exceptions.

See also Lix https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1605 which is very
similar by coincidence. Pulled a comment from that.

We want the $doc, $man outputs to be symlinks pointing to nix-manual and
nix-manual.man. Creating the directories first makes the `ln` command
produce symlink $doc/${nix-manual} instead.
```

symbolic link to /nix/store/rwh8ky3k040wyrywl8k2v5b3csdfbdg7-nix-manual-2.27.1-man
```
This is the reason `nix-env --help` is once again broken on 2.26/2.27/master
after 4108529.
