This is part of a fix for b/338.
We should never use PartialOrd::partial_cmp().
All Nix types except floats are obviously totally-ordered. In
addition, it turns out that because Nix treats division by zero
rather than producing a NaN, and because it does not support
"negative zero", even floats are in fact totally ordered in Nix.
Therefore, every call to PartialOrd::partial_cmp() in tvix is an
error. We have to *implement* this function, but we should never
call it on built-in types.
Moreover, nix_cmp_ordering() currently returns an Option<Ordering>.
I'm not sure what was going on there, since it's impossible for it
to return None. This commit fixes it to return simply Ordering
rather than Option<Ordering>.

This commit rewrites Value::nix_eq() into an equivalent. Except for
calls to Thunk::force(), the new form no longer uses generators, and
is async only because of the fact that it calls Thunk::force().
I believed that the nonrecursive form would be faster. It is, in
fact, slightly slower. I believe this is due to the vec![]
allocation; I am investigating.

This commit rewrites Thunk::force() so that it is not (directly)
self-recursive. It maintains a Vec of all the
previously-encountered thunks which point to the one it is currently
forcing, rather than recursively calling itself.
Benefits:
- Short term:
This commit saves the cost of a round-trip through the generator
machinery for the generators::request_force() which is removed by
this commit.
- Medium term:
Once a similar transformation has been applied to nix_cmp(),
nix_add(), nix_eq(), and coerce_to_string(), those four functions,
along with Thunk::force(), will make non-tail calls only to each
other. They can then be merged into a single tail-recursive
function which does not use the generator machinery at all:
enum Task { Cmp, Add, Eq, CoerceToString, Force};
fn Value::walk(task:Task, v1:Value, v2:Value) {
// ...
- Long term:
The long-term goal here is to use generators **only for builtins**
and [Marionette]-style remote control of the VM. In other words:
use `async` for things that actually involve concurrency. Calls
from the VM to builtins can then be blocking calls, because even
cppnix will overflow the stack if you make a MAX_STACK_DEPTH-deep
recursive call which passes through a builtin at every stack frame
(e.g. `{ func = builtins.sort (a: b: ... func ...) ...}`).
This way the inner "tight loop" of the interpreter doesn't pay the
costs of `async` and generators. These costs manifest in terms
of: performance, complex nonlocal control flow, and language
impediments (async Rust is a restricted subset of real Rust, and
is missing things like traits).

builtins.intersectAttrs is used a _lot_ in nixpkgs eval, for whatever
reason. We previously had a very inefficient implementation that would
allocate for each comparison. It stuck out like a sore thumb in perf
analysis.
This moves to a custom algorithm with two iterators, one for the left
and one for the right side, advancing them along the (borrowed) map
keys until a match is found and allocation is required.
I've not made any effort to reduce the verbosity of this code, I don't
think it's worth it.
On my machine this reduces the mean runtime of evaluating
`nixpkgs.emacs.outPath` by ~8%.

This explicitly documents behavior of C++ Nix that goes against the
intuition you'd gather from this document: that e.g. a simple select
from an attribute set causes a value to no longer be pointer equal to
its former self.
The point of documenting this is that we can show in a to be written
section on the use of pointer equality in nixpkgs that pointer equality
is only needed in a limited sense for evaluating it (C++ Nix's exterior
pointer equality). Tvix's pointer equality is far more powerful since
value identity preserving operations also preserve pointer equality,
generally speaking (this is because we implement interior pointer
equality in my made up terminology). This should eventually also be
documented.

This fixes a subtle issue which would occasionally lead to a crash (e.g.
when evaluating (pkgs.systemd.outPath with --trace-runtime): With each
character in the string that has a multi byte representation in UTF-8,
the actual byte position and what tvix thought it was would get out of
sync. This could either lead to
* Tvix swallowing characters or jumbling characters if multi byte
characters would cause the tracked index to become out of sync with
the byte position before the first character to be escaped, or
* Tvix crashing if (in the same situation) the out of sync index would
be within a UTF-8 byte sequence.
Luckily, std's `char_indices()` iterator implements exactly what
`nix_escape_char()`'s original author had in mind with
`.chars().enumerate()`. Using `i + 1` for continuing is safe, since all
characters that need (in fact, can) to be escaped in Nix are represented
as a single byte in UTF-8.
