1c81ccb996 fix(3p): Move away from builtins.fetchGit
Moves to the derivation-based git fetchers everywhere in third-party.
This might help with forward-compatibility with newer Nix versions,
though that's not our primary concern right now.

0779f96687 feat(nix/buildkite): Check target map of parent to determine skips
This changes the logic for build pipeline generation to inspect
an (optional) parentTargetMap attribute which contains the derivation
map of a target commit.

Targets that existed in a parent commit with the same drv hash will be
skipped, as they are not considered to have changed.

This does not yet wire up any logic for retrieving the target map from
storage, meaning that at this commit all targets are always built.

The intention is that we will have logic to fetch the target
map (initially from Buildkite artefact storage), which we then pass to
the depot via externalArgs when actually generating the pipeline.

0a21da2bb4 feat(ops/pipelines): Create drvmap structure for each commit
Always create a structure that maps all targets to derivations, and
persist it as a JSON file.

This relates to some of the ideas expressed in:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/16A0a5oUxH1VoiSM8hyFyLW0WiUYpNo2e2D6FTW4BlH8/edit

The file is always uploaded to Buildkite as an artifact. This allows
for retrieving it based on the commit ID in a Buildkite GraphQL query.

By default, Buildkite stores artefacts for 6 months. Storage location
can be overridden (with custom retention) through some environment
variables, but for now at TVL the Buildkite-managed storage is fine.
See also: https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/artifacts

In the subsequent filtering implementation, when diffing commits
across a time-range that exceeds artefact retention time, we should
simply default to building everything.

b7ef2a579b refactor: Generalise pipeline generation in //nix/buildkite
Extracts the logic for generating our Buildkite pipeline (which has
been copy&pasted and slightly modified in some places outside of
depot) into a generic //nix/buildkite library.

This should cause no change in functionality.

00adb6e8f3 feat(nix/yants): improve error message for errornous predicate
while trying to yantsify `mkSecrets` in https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/4688,
I(zseri) needed to debug a failing evaluation which boiled down
to a result.ok containing something which wasn't boolean,
but the error message didn't indicate where that value came from.

I debugged yants and found that the only place which didn't
simply combine boolean values or use functions which always
return booleans, I managed to isolate the error to the
`pred v` expression. To avoid the necessity to debug yants
to find this, I improve the error message for this case
to mention that
- a restriction predicate is invalid
- what's the name of the failing restriction
- the unexpected predicate return value

b9f510d989 fix(nix/buildLisp): don't emit a target for impl used at top level
These targets would be the same derivation, but named differently which
is noisy and causes a few, mostly subtle issues:

* Buildkite struggles with large pipelines a bit, we can save quite a
  few steps by removing these.

* Having two jobs for the same derivation sometimes causes the annoying
  situation that an agent would do nothing except waiting for a lock.

* Non-nix CI we add in the future may not be able to recognize that
  these targets are the same and do extra work unnecessarily.

8dc54f89cd fix(nix/runTestsuite): don't crash on big test suites
Having `prettyRes` in the execline script causes it to fail because of
the argv limit if your test suite is long enough. For the succeeding one
we can work around this by hashing it (since we only care that something
changes if the test suite changes), in the case of the failing one where
we want to print the results, we use runExecline's stdin mechanism.

bc51bd99d9 refactor(readTree): Move 'restrictFolder' function into readTree
This is generally useful for readTree users and should be part of
readTree itself.

This is a move towards exposing several readTree-related features from
the library itself, in the future also including logic like 'gather'.

Note that this has a small functional change: In error messages of the
function, the notation for accessing Nix attributes is now used rather
than the Perforce-style `//` notation common in TVL.

For example, an error at `//web/tvl/logo` will produce `web.tvl.logo`
in the error message (which corresponds to the readTree attribute
itself).

This makes more sense for non-TVL consumers of readTree, as the
Perforce-style notation is custom to us specifically.

66fa718ceb feat(nix/utils): expose pathType of symlink target
In order to make readTree import symlinked directories I've been looking
into how to detect if a symlink points to a directory (since this would
allow us to use symlinks for //nix/sparseTree). I've found a hack for
this:

    symlinkPointsToDir = path: isSymlink path &&
      builtins.pathExists (toString path + "/.")

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible to distinguish whether the
symlink target does not exist or is a regular file.

Since it's possible, I thought might as well add this to
`pathType`. To make returning the extra information workable, I've
elected to use the attribute set layout used by `//nix/tag`. This
doesn't require us to depend anything (as opposed to yants), but gives
us pattern matching (via `nix.tag.match`) and also quite idiomatic
checking of pathTypes:

    pathType ./foo ? file
    (pathType ./foo).symlink or null == "symlink-directory"

Nonexistent paths are encoded like this:

    pathType ./foo ? missing

Of course we can't use this in readTree (since it must be zero
dependency), but we can easily inline this hack at some point.

* If the attribute `exit` exists, nint will exit with the given exit

  missing, nint will exit without indicating an error.

d7f60bcb04 feat(nix/readTree): record list of children added by readTree
This change adds a new attribute to readTree nodes, `__readTreeChildren`
which is a list of attribute names added to this node by readTree.

This is then used by `gather` for `ci.targets` to avoid evaluating
attributes unnecessarily. Especially since Nix is not as lazy as we'd
like when determining types (i. e. child ? __readTree needs to force
`child` even when it's not an attribute set), evaluating attributes
unnecessarily is sometimes problematic.

This is useful if a derivation depends on depot.path (e. g. if it wants
to import depot at runtime). Usually this means that on every depot
commit (or even worse, every change of .git on a local machine), this
derivation has to be rebuild. By using sparseTree you can instead depend
on a stripped down version of depot which only contains the bits you
actually depend on, avoiding unrelated rebuilds.

aedde913d1 refactor(readTree): Pass all readTree parameters as function args
Instead of having a mix of depot-passed args (for the filter) and args
to the readTree function itself, make everything a single attribute
set of arguments passed to the function.

This also makes it a bit easier to extend this in the future.

8b851956ad feat(readTree): Add support for path-dependent args filtering
Adds another argument to readTree itself which can be passed when
importing readTree (e.g. in our default.nix) to filter the arguments
passed to a target based on that target's location in the tree.

This is intentionally not yet mentioned in the docs, and also
intentionally implemented in such a way that the API surface of
readTree doesn't change. The reason for this is that I want to figure
out whether these filter functions are actually useful, e.g. within
depot by filtering user-folder passing, and then refactor the readTree
API to find a public way of exposing this as part of the readTree
function itself (and not its import).

Relates to b/143.

2dd8bc7977 fix(nix/buildLisp): prevent image loader from parsing arguments
CCL and SBCL create executables by dumping their image. As a
consequence, some part of the respective compiler is embedded in the
resulting executable which is executed and loads the image. For CCL and
SBCL this piece of software seems to unconditionally parse arguments
which can't be prevented since it happens before any lisp is loaded.

Luckily in both cases the parsing stops at `--`, so we can just pass
this via the wrapper — we just need to work around the problem that this
will of course be left in argv and confuse any later code. This can be
rectified by deleting everything prior to the first `--` in the global
argument list on startup in both cases.

In cases we do want to pass arguments to the image loader, we can use
the special NIX_BUILDLISP_LISP_ARGS environment variable which is
understood by the wrapper.

Note: This fix doesn't interfere with ECL since it is not using the
wrapper script at the moment.

Fixes b/136.

2fa32b563f docs(nix/buildLisp): document recent changes to buildLisp
Doing this in a separate CL to avoid having to track the intermediate
changes no one will ever see in documentation as well which would be
unnecessary effort.

* Multi-implementation support introduced in cl/3292 and refined in
  cl/3368 in terms of the user interface.

* Implementation specific srcs and deps introduced in cl/3321

* Implementation passthru attrs and rename from .sbcl -> .repl was done
  in cl/3359

* ECL added in cl/3297, CCL in cl/3350

7df7cd6257 feat(nix/buildLisp): pass implementation description instead of name
Instead of using a string to refer to an internal set defined in
buildLisp, we just expose the relevant sets (as nix.buildLisp.sbcl,
nix.buildLisp.ecl, …) and receive them as the `implementation`
argument directly. This has several advantages:

* It becomes easier to extend buildLisp, even for downstream users:
  Since you can just pass your own set, there's nothing stopping you
  from adding support for another implementation in a downstream
  derivation without having to edit the buildLisp file in any way which
  is great if you're using e. g. builtins.fetchGit to import it.

* Users can mess with the implementation set by changing out some parts
  of it for customization purposes. Note that currently the sets use a
  lot of self-references which aren't even bound by a fix-point, so to
  make this work smoothly, we'd need to add some overriding mechanism.

* The buildLisp code becomes quite a bit clearer. Since we're now always
  dealing with the implementation set, the confusing distinction between
  `impl`, `impl.name` and `implementation` no longer exists. `impl` is
  now exclusively an abbreviation of `implementation` (we could make
  this more consistent in the future even).

d7e70b1d72 feat(nix/buildLisp): add ccl
This adds support for Clozure's CL implementation to buildLisp. This is
quite trivial in comparison to ECL since SBCL and CCL have very similar
in how they work (so much so that CCL also suffers from b/136).

Also the similarities in the code actually added here are striking, so
I'll try to make an effort to reduce the code duplication in the
future.

To fix builds with CCL the following changes were made:

* //3p/lisp/nibbles: The double inclusion of the types.lisp file was
  fixed. CCL doesn't like double definitions and refuses to compile
  otherwise.

* //3p/lisp/physical-quantities: Update to a new bug fix release which
  contains a compilation fix for CCL.

* //3p/lisp/routes: apply a patch fixing the build which was previously
  failing due to a double definition.

* //3p/lisp/usocket: only depend on sb-bsd-sockets for SBCL and ECL, the
  latter of which seems to have a SBCL compatible implementation of the
  package.

* Conditionally include a few CCL-specific source files and add
  `badImplementation` entries for the remaining failures which are
  //fun/gemma (to be expected) and //web/panettone which fails with an
  incredibly vague message.

02566cdcfb feat(nix/buildLisp): add ecl
Adds ECL as a second supported implementation, specifically a statically
linked ECL. This is interesting because we can create statically linked
binaries, but has a few drawbacks which doesn't make it generally
useful:

* Loading things is very slow: The statically linked ECL only has byte
  compilation available, so when we do load things or use the REPL it is
  significantly worse than with e. g. SBCL.

* We can't load shared objects via the FFI since ECL's dffi is not
  available when linked statically. This means that as it stands, we
  can't build a statically linked //web/panettone for example.

Since ECL is quite slow anyways, I think these drawbacks are worth it
since the biggest reason for using ECL would be to get a statically
linked binary. If we change our minds, it shouldn't be too hard to
provide ecl-static and ecl-dynamic as separate implementations.

ECL is LGPL and some libraries it uses as part of its runtime are as
well. I've outlined in the ecl-static overlay why this should be of no
concern in the context of depot even though we are statically linking.

Currently everything is building except projects that are using cffi to
load shared libaries which have gotten an appropriate
`badImplementations` entry. To get the rest building the following
changes were made:

* Anywhere a dependency on UIOP is expressed as `bundled "uiop"` we now
  use `bundled "asdf"` for all implementations except SBCL. From my
  testing, SBCL seems to be the only implementation to support using
  `(require 'uiop)` to only load the UIOP package. Where both a
  dependency on ASDF and UIOP exists, we just delete the UIOP one.
  `(require 'asdf)` always causes UIOP to be available.

* Where appropriate only conditionally compile SBCL-specific code and
  if any build the corresponding files for ECL.

* //lisp/klatre: Use the standard condition parse-error for all
  implementations except SBCL in try-parse-integer.

* //3p/lisp/ironclad: disable SBCL assembly optimization hack for all
  other platforms as it may interfere with compilation.

* //3p/lisp/trivial-mimes: prevent call to asdf function by substituting
  it out of the source since it always errors out in ECL and we hardcode
  the correct path elsewhere anyways.

As it stands ECL still suffers from a very weird problem which happens
when compiling postmodern and moptilities:

0285ea7eac feat(nix/buildLisp): expose drvs built w/ the other implementations
For every implementation we support an extra passthru attribute with the
name of the implementation is created which points to a version of the
derivation built with that implementation. E. g. if we support CCL, ECL
and SBCL, third_party.lisp.alexandria would have:

* third_party.lisp.alexandria.sbcl
* third_party.lisp.alexandria.ecl
* third_party.lisp.alexandria.ccl

To make this possible, the REPL derivation which was called `sbcl`
originally has been renamed to `repl`.

Since some things won't build with all implementations, we introduce a
brokenOn argument which influences the meta.targets list that is
created, but won't prevent the passthru attrs from being created to
ease debugging failures.

ee6b2003fc feat(nix/buildLisp): implementation specific deps and srcs
Both the deps and srcs arguments may now have special “filter sets” in
the lists they receive as arguments. When building, buildLisp checks if
such sets either have a attribute named like the current implementation
or a "default" attribute. If yes, the set is replaced by the respective
attribute's value. If no, the set is removed from the list without
replacement.

This can be used to add elements for (a) specific implementation(s):

  { sbcl = buildLisp.bundled "sb-posix"; }

  { sbcl = ./sbcl/optional-sbcl.lisp; }

or to switch between files for different implementations:

  # If a implementation case is missing and no default set present,
  # no file will be added. Compilation will likely fail as a result.
  {
    ecl = ./tf-ecl.lisp;
    ccl = ./tf-ccl.lisp;
    sbcl = ./tf-sbcl.lisp;
  }

or to account for special behavior for a certain implementation:

  {
    ccl = ./ccl-quirk-impl.lisp
    default = ./ansi-impl.lisp;
  }

acb5994e87 feat(nix/buildLisp): allow implementation-specifc bundled functions
By implementing a bundled function for an implementation, we can use a
custom one for a specific implementation. This is useful for
implementations like ECL where a require will be compiled as an
instruction rather than importing all new symbols into a dump, so using
the underlying static or shared object directly would be beneficial.

overrideLisp for bundled libraries now only allows overriding the name
and implementation arguments.
