We changed the configured pipeline in Buildkite to upload
`static-pipeline.yaml` instead of containing the steps of that
pipeline itself.
This makes it easier to test changes to builds and such, but adds
another build step with scheduling overhead etc.
However - we can work around this by killing one of the existing build
steps. There's no reason the failure status zeroing (required for
status reporting) shouldn't be part of the pipeline setup, so I've
moved it there instead and nuked that step.
This should mean that the pipeline is configurable from within the
repo, but without slowing anything down.

Skip build steps if they have already been built, reducing pipelines
to the things that actually changed between builds. On canon all
targets are always built (we require this for anchoring).
Note that this is not perfect, garbage collection and competing
pipelines may affect each other.
Also note that we have some impure targets that change on every
commit.

We currently evaluate every target twice -- once when the depot pipeline
is built and once when actually running the build step in question. Nix
evaluation is quite slow especially given heavy use of import from
derivation in depot, so avoiding the second evaluation is desireable.
Evaluating a derivation yields a `drv` file in the nix store which can
be passed to `nix-store --realise` in order to build it eliminating the
need to wait for evaluation. We can obtain the path to the `drv` file
while building the pipeline via `target.drvPath` and remember it for the
build later.
However we need to work around a flaw (or oversight) in Nix's dependency
tracking via string context: This is based on derivations, not output
path (because this is what evaluation deals with, likely). This is no
problem per se, but an issue is that Nix can't express a dependency on
a `drv` file without any of its output paths. This means for us that we
either have to build all output paths at evaluation time (which we don't
want, obviously) or to deal with the fact that the `drv` file we need
may be garbage collected at any moment after discarding the string
context -- then nix is unable to track the reference from the pipeline
to the `drv` file in the store.
So to prevent a race condition between the pipeline and the garbage
collector we fall back to the normal nix-build invocation as we did
before.

Adds a conditional build step that only runs on the canon branch, and
only if 🦆 (the status reporting step) succeeds, which creates a
new Nix GC root for all depot targets named `depot-canon`.
In practice this might be a bit racey, as canon builds are not
guaranteed to succeed in order (though it is likely). This shouldn't
matter much in practice: We only want to prevent rebuilds of the whole
world.

We have naturally evolved a distinction between logical and physical
targets.
Physical targets are those which correspond directly to a tree
location on disk and can be built with `-A path.to.files`, while
logical targets are those that are exported from within an expression
but do not have a corresponding file on disk.
This change adds support for exporting logical targets from any tree
location by adding a `meta.targets` attribute containing keys into
itself, which will be consumed by the CI target gathering logic and
included in the generated pipeline.
Note that the labels for subtargets are syntactically different to
emphasise that they do not correspond to a file location. For example,
this change enables 'ops.nixos.whitbySystem' as a subtarget, which is
labeled in CI as `ops/nixos:whitbySystem`.

Create the pipeline by outputting a file that contains nix-build
invocations for each target's *derivation path*.
Each invocation has a generated Nix expression passed to it with `-E`
which fetches the correct target from the tree while correctly
handling targets with strange characters (such as in Go-packages).
This makes it possible to run target-level granular pipelines. We're
getting somewhere!

Automatically walk the entire depot tree and pick out things that are
"buildable", then include them in the attribute `ci.targets` (which is
now also the target for CI builds).
A long time ago, in a land far away, we (well, I, at the time) had a
prototype of this which ran into constant issues with infinite
recursions while trying to walk the tree. In fact, this is why
readTree originally gained the `__readTree`-attribute which marks
things that were imported automatically.
Based on some code edef whipped up earlier (with the breakthrough
being that we also add the attribute to top-level folders, which
suddenly resolves a whole bunch of problems), I've now implemented
this actually working version.
At the moment all builds still happen as one big bag of builds, but at
some point we will granularise this.
