With this change, readTree gains the ability to notice a `.skip-tree`
marker in addition to the `.skip-subtree` marker.
The behaviour of the new marker will completely ignore the folder that
the marker is located in (i.e. no node will be present for it in the
parent at all).
To make this work, the recursive function in readTree had to be
modified to return a sentinel value (noting that a tree has requested
to be skipped) which is then filtered out when constructing the list
of children. The actual `readTree` function is now a wrapper around
this inner, sentinel-yielding implementation which unwraps the result
set.
For obvious reasons, `.skip-tree` is not allowed at the top-level and
readTree will throw an error if it encounters it there.

For something like `builtins.length`, this will directly emit an

This fixes a very complicated bug (b/246). Evaluation
progresses *much* further after this, leading to several less
complicated bugs likely being uncovered by this
What was the problem?
=====================
Previously, when evaluating a thunk, we had a code path that looked
like this:
match *thunk {
ThunkRepr::Evaluated(Value::Thunk(ref inner_thunk)) => {
let inner_repr = inner_thunk.0.borrow().clone();
drop(thunk);
self.0.replace(inner_repr);
}
/* ... */
}
This code path created a copy of the inner `ThunkRepr` of a nested
thunk, and moved that copy into the `ThunkRepr` of the parent.
The effect of this was that the original `ThunkRepr` (unforced!) lived
on in the original thunk, without the memoization of the subsequent
forcing applying to it.
This had the result that Tvix would repeatedly evaluate these thunks
without ever memoizing them, if they occured repeatedly as shared
inner thunks. Most notably, this would *always* occur when
builtins.import was used.
What's the solution?
====================
I have completely rewritten `Thunk::force_trampoline_self` to make all
flows that can occur in it explicit. I have also removed the outer
loop inside of that function, and resorted to more use of trampolining
instead.
The function is now well-commented and it should be possible to read
it from top-to-bottom and get a general sense of what is going on,
though the trampolining itself (which is implemented in the VM) needs
to be at least partially understood for this.
What's the new problem(s)?
==========================
One new (known) problem is that we have to construct `Error` instances
in all error types here, but we do not have spans available in some
thunk-related situations. Due to b/238 we cannot ask the VM for an
arbitrary span from the callsite leading to the force. This means that
there are now code paths where, under certain conditions, causing an
evaluation error during thunk forcing will panic.
To fix this we will need to investigate and fix b/238, and/or add a
span tracking mechanism to thunks themselves.
What other impacts does this have?
==================================
With this commit, eval of nixpkgs mostly succeeds (things like stdenv
evaluate to the same hashes for us and C++ Nix, meaning we now
construct identical derivations without eval breaking).
Due to this we progress much further into nixpkgs, which lets us
uncover more additional bugs. For example, after this commit we can
quickly see that cl/7949 introduces some kind of behavioural issue and
should not be merged as-is (this was not apparent before).
Additionally, tvix-eval is now seemingly very fast. When doing
performance analysis of a nixpkgs eval, we now mostly see the code
path for shelling out to C++ Nix to add things to the store in there.
We still need those code paths, so we can not (yet) do a performance
analysis beyond that.

of infrastructure for that at the moment.

Switch out the string-scanning algorithm used in the reference scanner.
The construction of aho-corasick automata made up the vast majority of
runtime when evaluating nixpkgs previously. While the actual scanning
with a constructed automaton is relatively fast, we almost never scan
for the same set of strings twice and the cost is not worth it.
An algorithm that better matches our needs is the Wu-Manber multiple
string match algorithm, which works efficiently on *long* and *random*
strings of the *same length*, which describes store paths (up to their
hash component).
This switches the refscanner crate to a Rust implementation[0][1] of
this algorithm.
This has several implications:
1. This crate does not provide a way to scan streams. I'm not sure if
this is an inherent problem with the algorithm (probably not, but
it would need buffering). Either way, related functions and
tests (which were actually unused) have been removed.
2. All strings need to be of the same length. For this reason, we
truncate the known paths after their hash part (they are still
unique, of course).
3. Passing an empty set of matches, or a match that is shorter than
the length of a store path, causes the crate to panic. We safeguard
against this by completely skipping the refscanning if there are no
known paths (i.e. when evaluating the first derivation of an eval),
and by bailing out of scanning a string that is shorter than a
store path.
On the upside, this reduces overall runtime to less 1/5 of what it was
before when evaluating `pkgs.stdenv.drvPath`.
[0]: Frankly, it's a random, research-grade MIT-licensed
crate that I found on Github:
https://github.com/jneem/wu-manber
[1]: We probably want to rewrite or at least fork the above crate, and
add things like a three-byte wide scanner. Evaluating large
portions of nixpkgs can easily lead to more than 65k derivations
being scanned for.
