Quoting myself from IRC, for those who missed it:
-------------
Alright, some of you might be wondering what 'UNDERGOING CHANGES'
means. The gist of it is that TVL has kind of departed from what it
was originally (a place for friends of mine to hang out) by growing a
little too fast, and I've decided to do a bit of a reboot.
What this means is that for most people I don't know directly, I'll be
asking you to leave (I'll +v/-v accordingly) and see if we can get the
original TVL crowd back before opening it for a wider audience again.
The "opening hours" (heh) will also be more restricted again.
Some people will be a little unhappy about this, but the good news is
that you can easily make your own Meet and use that! Some folks even
started an alternative EU-daytime lounge already. But for now, with
this particular one, it'll be s/The V/tazjin's V/.
----------------
Clang treats function-like macros "correctly", in that, per the C11 spec:
"Each subsequent instance of the function-like macro name followed by a (
[...] is replaced by the replacement list [...]".
Additionally, fprintf is also permitted to be defined as a function-like
macro rather than as a true function: "Any function declared in a header
may be additionally implemented as a function-like macro defined in the
header [...]". The specification then suggests surrounding the name of the
function in parens to avoid this, which is the technique we use here to avoid
the function-like macro being invoked.
The other fix here is to use uintptr_t for some arithmetic, since Git
is expecting an int as the value here and not a pointer.
Having a colon in the path may cause issues, and having the hash
function indicated isn't actually necessary. We now verify the path
format in the tests to prevent regressions.

This makes the paths consistent without relying on ordering.

Completes the switch from Meson to CMake for the core build system in
Nix.
Meson was added originally because someone else had already done the
work for integrating it in Nix and it was an upgrade from the previous
setup.
However over time it became clear that Meson is not quite mature
enough for projects like Nix that have occasionally peculiar
configuration constraints.
Some issues encountered with Meson (some of these are due to the Meson
setup in Nix):
* Difficulty with generating correct compile_commands.json for
external tools like clangd
* Difficulty linking to libc++ when using clang
* Ugly shell invocations for certain parts of the build system (I want
these to be gone!!!)
This CMake setup mimics the Meson configuration, but there are some
differences (some temporary):
* headers are now included separately for each library (see a previous
commit that changes includes appropriately)
* autoheaders-style configuration is currently hardcoded. Before
blindly copying this I want to evaluate how much of it actually exists
for portability concerns that I don't have (such as support for OS
X).
* Nix is built with libc++ by default.
* [libstore] SQL schema is now inlined via a generated header, not an
included string literal
Abseil is still built as part of this build, rather than an external
dependency, because it chokes on differently configured compiler
invocations.
Note that because of the move to libc++ an unwanted behaviour is
introduced: glog log messages no longer have a body. I have yet to
debug what is going on there.
Previously all includes were anchored in one global mess of header
files. This moves the includes into filesystem "namespaces" (if you
will) for each sub-package of Nix.
Note: This commit does not introduce the relevant build system changes.
Because modules are not called via the default depot setup (for now
...), this introduces a dummy module that stores the depot tree itself
in the module configurations.
This makes it possible to write modules that use packages from the
depot.
This function was a custom (and inefficient in the case of
single-character delimiters) string splitter which was used all over
the codebase. Abseil provides an appropriate replacement function.
Replaces these functions with corresponding functions from Abseil,
namely absl::StripAsciiWhitespace and absl::SimpleAtoi.
In the course of doing this some minor things I encountered along the
way were also refactored.
This also changes the signatures of the various custom readFile
functions to use absl::string_view types.
It is considered bad form to use things from includes in headers, as
these directives propagate to everywhere else and can make it
confusing.
types.hh (which is includes almost literally everywhere) had some of
these directives, which this commit removes.
