Imports the converse forum software I wrote a few years ago. I want to
clean this up a bit and try using Hotwire with it.

386afdc794 feat(web/bubblegum): allow passing status as an int
The whole pass the name of the status as a string thing was mostly born
out of an overeager use of yants. It is still very neat especially for
common cases like "OK", so we'll keep it, but also allow passing the
integer variant of the status as well which probably feels more natural
for a lot of people, especially over getting the casing right for
"I'm a teapot".

1c0f89f4ca feat(web/bubblegum): report some errors to the user via HTTP
We can actually catch some errors that may be generated in bubblegum
applications where we can report them to the user in a way that doesn't
require curl -vv:

* Type errors in the status argument: By removing yants completely we
  not only (presumably) gain some performance, but also the ability to
  return an internal server error on an unexpected type instead of
  throwing.

* User generated evaluation errors: by using builtins.tryEval we can
  catch throws and asserts the user inserted when generating the body
  and report to the user that something went wrong. To do: also support
  for the headers.

5319465f60 fix(panettone): Add email.lisp to source files
email.lisp was missing from the buildLisp derivaation's source files,
which meant that none of its definitions were being loaded into the
image even though the package was defined by packages.lisp.

As an aside, this really should've broken the build - we got a
style-warning in panettone.lisp for referencing the missing definitions,
but that only surfaced as a warning, and ended up breaking once deployed

abe1de4302 feat(3p/rust-crates): get dependencies from the depot fix point
I think it is good practice to always get dependencies from the depot
fix point if they are exposed. The reasoning for this is that if we
improve the support for overriding in depot, say by introducing a
depot.extend functions or even full blown overlay support, this will
already work as expected.

0133fdc737 chore: move all 3p buildRustCrate derivations to //third_party
Profpatsch and me are basically the only users of
depot.users.Profpatsch.writers.rustSimple*. To pull in the odd
dependency we usually use buildRustCrate which is rather convenient.
However we've picked up the bad habit of inlining these in a let
somewhere instead of managing them in a more central location although
there has been an (unsuccesful) attempt at this in
//users/Profpatsch/rust-crates.nix.

This CL moves all buildRustCrate based derivations into
third_party.rust-crates and deletes any duplicate derivations we have
accumulated in the tree.

817cd6f166 feat(ops/nixos/www): Enable tvl.su aliases for dev tools
This is not for the domain root though, as that's going to be
something else eventually.

The canonical URLs are the .fyi ones (at least for now), and some of
these tools will eventually generate links that make user sessions
started from *.tvl.su converge on *.tvl.fyi.

Relates to b/98

db80c2d368 feat(3p/cgit): limit width of div#summary, i. e. /about/**
Decreased text width for the /about pages should increase readability
considerably as jumping back to the beginning is hard for longer
lines. The result is still not perfect as the font size for the /about
pages is rather small and many lines thus get broken somewhat awkwardly.

We could probably migitate that using a larger font size.

The implementation choice of adding a tvl-extra.css which we inject into
cgit.css in preBuild is for simplicity: We don't need to worry about
routing an extra CSS file and loading it from the right location via
extra cgit head entries and serving it at the correct location using
either nginx or thttpd.

A drawback of this is however that iteration is slowed down by cgit's
compilation time.

Additionally, this should be the basis for implementing a bubblegum
themed cgit for Profpatsch.

I am somewhat trustworthy… maybe? Also I tend to gc depot stuff so ssh
serve would be neat.

This gives a decent compilation speedup even on slow machines, so seems
worth it. Let's hope the cgit build process is not racy.

108e19c906 feat(sterni/dot-time-man-pages): mdoc port of dotti.me
More or less direct port of https://dotti.me to mdoc(7) with the
following changes:

* Add a RFC3339 column to the EXAMPLES table. RFC3339 is a well
  specified subset of ISO8601 whose specification is also more
  accessible so this could help someone out.

* Add a SEE ALSO section linking to the web site

* Add an AUTHORS section

93a746aaaa feat(web/bubblegum): nix CGI programming framework
So here is what has been keeping me up at night: At some point I
realized that nix actually made a somewhat passable language for CGI
programming:

* That `builtins.getEnv` exists as one of the impurities of Nix is
  perfect as environment variables are the main way of communication
  from the web server to the CGI application.

* We can actually read from the filesystem via builtins.readDir and
  builtins.readFile with bearable overhead if we avoid importing the
  used paths into the nix store.

* Templating and routing are convenient to implement via indented strings
  and attribute sets respectively.

Of course there are obvious limitation:

* The overhead of derivations is probably much to great for them to be
  useful via IfD.

* Even without derivations, nix evaluation is very slow to the point
  were a trivial application takes between 100ms and 400ms to produce a
  response.

* We can't really cause effects other than producing a response which
  makes it not viable for a lot of applications. There are some ways
  around this:

  * With a custom interpreter we could have streaming and multiplexed
    I/O (using lazy lists emulated via attrsets) to cause such effects,
    but it would probably perform terribly.

  * We can use builtins.fetchurl to call other HTTP-based microservices,
    but only in very limited constraints, i. e. only GET, no headers,
    and only if the tarball ttl is set to 0 in the global nix.conf.

* Terrible error handling capabilities because builtins.tryEval actually
  doesn't catch a lot of errors.

To prove that it actually works, there are some demo applications,
which I invite you to run and potentially break horribly:

    nix-build -A web.bubblegum.examples && ./result
    # navigate to http://localhost:9000

The setup uses thttpd and executes the nix CGI scripts using
users.sterni.nint which automatically passed `depot`, so they can
import the cgi library.

68f3ac64c4 feat(sterni/nint): shebang interpreter for nix scripts
nint (short for nix interpreter) is a tiny wrapper around nix-instantiate
which allows to run nix scripts, i. e. nix expressions that conform to
a certain calling convention. A nix script runnable using nint must
conform to the following constraints:

* It must evaluate to a function which has a set pattern with an
  ellipsis as the single argument.

* It must produce a string as a return value or fail.

When invoked, a the expression receives the following arguments:

* `currentDir`: the current working directory as a nix path

* `argv`: a list of strings containing `argv` including `argv[0]`

* extra arguments which are manually specified which allows for
  passing along dependencies or libraries, for example:

    nint --arg depot '(import /depot {})' my-prog.nix [ argv[1] … ]

  would pass along depot to be used in `my-prog.nix`.

Such nix scripts are purely functional in a sense: The way inputs can be
taken is very limited and causing effects is also only possible in a
very limited sense (using builtins.fetchurl if TARBALL_TTL is 0,
adding files and directories to the nix store, realising derivations).
As an approximation, a program executed using nint can be thought of
as a function with the following signature:

  λ :: environment → working directory → argv → stdout

where environment includes:

* the time at the start of the program (`builtins.currentTime`)
* other information about the machine (`builtins.currentSystem` …)
* environment variables (`builtins.getEnv`)
* the file system (`builtins.readDir`, `builtins.readFile`, …) which
  is the biggest input impurity as it may change during evaluation

Additionally import from derivation and builtin fetchers are available
which introduce further impurities to be utilized.

Future work:

* Streaming I/O via lazy lists. This would allow usage of
  stdin and output before the program terminates. However this would
  require using libexpr directly or writing a custom nix interpreter.

  A description of how this would work can be found on the website of the
  esoteric programming language Lazy K: https://tromp.github.io/cl/lazy-k.html

* An effect system beyond stdin / stdout.

* Better error handling, support setting exit codes etc.

These features would require either using an alternative or custom
interpreter for nix (tvix or hnix) or to link against libexpr directly
to have more control over evaluation.
