OpenBSD doesn't support `lutimes`, but does support `utimensat` which
subsumes it. In fact, all the BSDs, Linux, and newer macOS all support
it. So lets make this our first choice for the implementation.
In addition, let's get rid of the `lutimes` `ENOSYS` special case. The
Linux manpage says
> ENOSYS
>
> The kernel does not support this call; Linux 2.6.22 or later is

which I think is the origin of this check, but that's a very old version
of Linux at this point. The code can be simplified a lot of we drop
support for it here (as we've done elsewhere, anyways).

We're not replacing `Path` in exposed definitions in many cases, but
just adding alternatives. This will allow us to "top down" change `Path`
to `std::fileysystem::path`, and then we can remove the `Path`-using
utilities which will become unused.
Also add some test files which we forgot to include in the libutil unit
tests `meson.build`.

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.

* Only build perl subproject on Linux
* Fix various Windows regressions
* Don't put the emulator hook in test builds
We run the tests in a separate derivation. Only need it for the dev shell.
* Fix native dev shells
* Fix cross dev shells we don't know how to emulate

... at call sites that are may be in the hot path.
I do not know how clever the compiler gets at these sites.
My primary concern is to not regress performance and I am confident
that this achieves it the easy way.
Instead of running the builds under
`$TMPDIR/{unique-build-directory-owned-by-the-build-user}`, run them
under `$TMPDIR/{unique-build-directory-owned-by-the-daemon}/{subdir-owned-by-the-build-user}`
where the build directory is only readable and traversable by the daemon user.
This achieves two things:
1. It prevents builders from making their build directory world-readable
(or even writeable), which would allow the outside world to interact
with them.
2. It prevents external processes running as the build user (either
because that somehow leaked, maybe as a consequence of 1., or because
`build-users` isn't in use) from gaining access to the build
directory.
the `std::filesystem::create_directories` can fail due to insufficient
permissions. We convert this error into a `SysError` and catch it
wherever required.
The implementation of `nix::createDirs` allows it to be a simple wrapper
around `std::filesystem::create_directories` as its return value is not
used anywhere.
the old `copyFile` was just a wrapper that was calling the `copy`
function. This wrapper function is removed and the `copy` function is
renamed to `copyFile`.
This makes for shorter and more portable code.
The only tricky part is catching exceptions: I just searched for near by
`catch (Error &)` or `catch (SysError &)` and adjusted them to `catch
(std::filesystem::filesystem_error &)` according to my human judgement.
Good for windows portability; will help @siddhantk232 with his GSOC
project.
At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands

This function is nice for more than `PosixSourceAccessor`. We can make a
few things simpler with it.
Note that the error logic slightly changes in some of the call sites, in
that we also count `ENOTDIR` and not just `ENOENT` as not having the
file, but that should be fine.
Fixes an instance of
nix: src/libutil/util.cc:139: nix::Path nix::canonPath(PathView, bool): Assertion `path != ""' failed.
... which I've been getting in one of my shells for some reason.
I have yet to find out why TMPDIR was empty, but it's no reason for
Nix to break.
It is possible to exfiltrate a file descriptor out of the build sandbox
of FODs, and use it to modify the store path after it has been
registered.
To avoid that issue, don't register the output of the build, but a copy
of it (that will be free of any leaked file descriptor).
`canonPath` and `absPath` work on native paths, and so should switch
between supporting Unix paths and Windows paths accordingly.
The templating is because `CanonPath`, which shares the implementation,
should always be Unix style. It is the pure "nix-native" path type for
virtual file operations --- it is part of Nix's "business logic", and
should not vary with the host OS accordingly.
The core `CanonPath` constructors were using `absPath`, but `absPath` in
some situations does IO which is not appropriate. It turns out that
these constructors avoided those situations, and thus were pure, but it
was far from obvious this was the case.
To remedy the situation, abstract the core algorithm from `canonPath` to
use separately in `CanonPath` without any IO. No we know by-construction
that those constructors are pure.
That leaves `CanonPath::fromCWD` as the only operation which uses IO /
is impure. Add docs on it, and `CanonPath` as a whole, explaining the
situation.
This is also necessary to support Windows paths on windows without
messing up `CanonPath`. But, I think it is good even without that.

It is entirely possible for the path to be an empty string and many
unit tests actually pass it as an empty string (e.g. both_roundrip or
turnsEmptyPathIntoCWD). In this case, without this patch, absPath will
perform a one-byte out-of-bounds access.
This was discovered while enabling the nix test suite on Alpine where
we compile all software with `-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS=1`, thus resulting
in a test failure on Alpine.
