feat(nix/buildkite): reflect deps between derivations in pipelines r/7940
Most of the steps in our buildkite pipeline build derivations without doing anything else. A lot of those derivations depend on each other. Consequently, buildkite will schedule builds of derivations whose dependencies are still in the process of being built. The result is many buildkite agents doing nothing but blocking on other derivations being built. We can easily prevent this by using the dependency information we can get from the derivation (files) of the targets we want to build and translating them into buildkite step dependencies. The hard part of this has already been done for a while: //nix/dependency-analyzer finds the dependencies between a list of “known” derivations (even if they only depend on each other through intermediate derivations) without depending on a specific derivation builder convention, but rather relying on `.drv` files. It still has a few rough edges, but has been working reliably for our purposes. Since our steps are identified by derivation hashes, we can just directly use the available dependency data. Luckily, buildkite seems to just takes a step as if it was completed if it is skipped, so we don't even have to check whether dependencies have been skipped or not. On whitby it seems that the dependency analysis costs about a minute additionally (which is how long it takes to run //nix/dependency-analyzer in isolation just about). Supersedes cl/5063, cl/5060, cl/5064 and cl/5065.
