This is step 1 towards being able to use all 4 spans that we know when
dealing with infinite recursion. It tracks the span at which the
force of a thunk was first requested when constructing a blackhole, so
that we can highlight the spans of the first and second forces.
These are actually the least relevant spans, but the easiest to put in
place, more coming soon.

Given Rust's current lack of support for tail calls, we cannot avoid
using `async` for builtins. This is the only way to avoid
overflowing the cpu stack when we have arbitrarily deep
builtin/interpreted/builtin/interpreted/... "sandwiches"
There are only five `async fn` functions which are not builtins
(some come in multiple "flavors"):
- add_values
- resolve_with
- force, final_deep_force
- nix_eq, nix_cmp_eq
- coerce_to_string
These can be written iteratively rather than recursively (and in
fact nix_eq used to be written that way!). I volunteer to rewrite
them. If written iteratively they would no longer need to be
`async`.
There are two motivations for limiting our reliance on `async` to
only the situation (builtins) where we have no other choice:
1. Performance.
We don't really have any good measurement of the performance hit
that the Box<dyn Future>s impose on us. Right now all of our
large (nixpkgs-eval) tests are swamped by the cost of other
things (e.g. fork()ing `nix-store`) so we can't really measure
it. Builtins tend to be expensive operations anyways
(regexp-matching, sorting, etc) that are likely to already cost
more than the `async` overhead.
2. Preserving the ability to switch to `musttail` calls.
Clang/LLVM recently got `musttail` (mandatory-elimination tail
calls). Rust has refused to add this mainly because WASM doesn't
support, but WASM `tail_call` has been implemented and was
recently moved to phase 4 (standardization). It is very likely
that Rust will get tail calls sometime in the next year; if it
does, we won't need async anymore. In the meantime, I'd like to
avoid adding any further reliance on `async` in places where it
wouldn't be straightforward to replace it with a tail call.

This drops the usage of serde::Serialize, as the trait can not be used
to implement the correct semantics (function colouring!).
Instead, a manual JSON serialisation function is written which
correctly handles toString, outPath and other similar weirdnesses.
Unexpectedly, the eval-okay-tojson test from the C++ Nix test suite
now passes, too.
This fixes an issue where serialising data structures containing
derivations to JSON would fail.

Warning: This is probably the biggest refactor in tvix-eval history,
so far.
This replaces all instances of trampolines and recursion during
evaluation of the VM loop with generators. A generator is an
asynchronous function that can be suspended to yield a message (in our
case, vm::generators::GeneratorRequest) and receive a
response (vm::generators::GeneratorResponsee).
The `genawaiter` crate provides an interpreter for generators that can
drive their execution and lets us move control flow between the VM and
suspended generators.
To do this, massive changes have occured basically everywhere in the
code. On a high-level:
1. The VM is now organised around a frame stack. A frame is either a
call frame (execution of Tvix bytecode) or a generator frame (a
running or suspended generator).
The VM has an outer loop that pops a frame off the frame stack, and
then enters an inner loop either driving the execution of the
bytecode or the execution of a generator.
Both types of frames have several branches that can result in the
frame re-enqueuing itself, and enqueuing some other work (in the
form of a different frame) on top of itself. The VM will eventually
resume the frame when everything "above" it has been suspended.
In this way, the VM's new frame stack takes over much of the work
that was previously achieved by recursion.
2. All methods previously taking a VM have been refactored into async
functions that instead emit/receive generator messages for
communication with the VM.
Notably, this includes *all* builtins.
This has had some other effects:
- Some test have been removed or commented out, either because they
tested code that was mostly already dead (nix_eq) or because they
now require generator scaffolding which we do not have in place for
tests (yet).
- Because generator functions are technically async (though no async
IO is involved), we lose the ability to use much of the Rust
standard library e.g. in builtins. This has led to many algorithms
being unrolled into iterative versions instead of iterator
combinations, and things like sorting had to be implemented from scratch.
- Many call sites that previously saw a `Result<..., ErrorKind>`
bubble up now only see the result value, as the error handling is
encapsulated within the generator loop.
This reduces number of places inside of builtin implementations
where error context can be attached to calls that can fail.
Currently what we gain in this tradeoff is significantly more
detailed span information (which we still need to bubble up, this
commit does not change the error display).
We'll need to do some analysis later of how useful the errors turn
out to be and potentially introduce some methods for attaching
context to a generator frame again.
This change is very difficult to do in stages, as it is very much an
"all or nothing" change that affects huge parts of the codebase. I've
tried to isolate changes that can be isolated into the parent CLs of
this one, but this change is still quite difficult to wrap one's mind
and I'm available to discuss it and explain things to any reviewer.
Fixes: b/238, b/237, b/251 and potentially others.

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.

This makes it possible for users to add additional context to an
error, which will then be rendered as an additional secondary span in
the formatted error output.
We should strive to do this basically anywhere errors are raised that
can occur multiple times, *especially* during type casts. This was
triggered by me debugging a type cast error attached to a fairly
large-ish span (a builtin invocation).

Instead of having a representation of suspended native thunks that
involves constructing a fake code chunk, make these thunks a
first-class part of the internal thunk representation.
The previous code was not that simple to understand, and actually
contained a critical bug which could lead to Tvix crashes. This
version fixes the particular instance of that bug, but instead
uncovers another (b/238) which can still lead to Tvix crashes.
Fixes: b/237.

This type carries the information required for calculating a
span (i.e. the chunk and offset), instead of the span itself. The span
is then only calculated in cases where it is required (when throwing
errors).
This reduces the eval time for
`builtins.length (builtins.attrNames (import <nixpkgs> {}))` by *one
third*!
The data structure in chunks that carries span information reduces
in-memory size by trading off the speed of retrieving span
information. This is because the span information is only actually
required when throwing errors (or emitting warnings).
However, somewhere along the way we grew a dependency on carrying span
information in thunks (for correctly reporting error chains). Hitting
the code paths for span retrieval was expensive, and carrying the
spans in a different way would still be less cache-efficient. This
change is the best tradeoff I could come up with.

It isn't possible to implement PartialEq properly for Value, because
any sensible implementation needs to force() thunks, which cannot be
done without a `&mut VM`.
The existing derive(PartialEq) has false negatives, which caused the
bug which cl/7142 fixed. Fortunately that bug was easy to find, but
a silent false negative deep within the bowels of nixpkgs could be a
real nightmare to hunt down.
Let's just remove the PartialEq impl for Value, and the other

This is done via a new `deepForce` function on Value. Since values can
be cyclical (for example, see the test-case), we need to do some extra
work to avoid RefCell borrow errors if we ever hit a graph cycle:
While deep-forcing values, we keep a set of thunks that we have
already seen and avoid doing any work on the same thunk twice. The set
is encapsulated in a separate type to stop potentially invalid
pointers from leaking out.
Finally, since deep_force is conceptually similar to
`VM::force_for_output` (but more suited to usage in eval since it
doesn't clone the values) this removes the latter, replacing it with
the former.

This commit deduplicates the Thunk-like functionality from Closure
and unifies it with Thunk.
Specifically, we now have one and only one way of breaking reference
cycles in the Value-graph: Thunk. No other variant contains a
RefCell. This should make it easier to reason about the behavior of
the VM. InnerClosure and UpvaluesCarrier are no longer necessary.
This refactoring allowed an improvement in code generation:
`Rc<RefCell<>>`s are now created only for closures which do not have
self-references or deferred upvalues, instead of for all closures.
OpClosure has been split into two separate opcodes:
- OpClosure creates non-recursive closures with no deferred
upvalues. The VM will not create an `Rc<RefCell<>>` when executing
this instruction.
- OpThunkClosure is used for closures with self-references or
deferred upvalues. The VM will create a Thunk when executing this
opcode, but the Thunk will start out already in the
`ThunkRepr::Evaluated` state, rather than in the
`ThunkRepr::Suspeneded` state.
To avoid confusion, OpThunk has been renamed OpThunkSuspended.
Thanks to @sterni for suggesting that all this could be done without
adding an additional variant to ThunkRepr. This does however mean
that there will be mutating accesses to `ThunkRepr::Evaluated`,
which was not previously the case. The field `is_finalised:bool`
has been added to `Closure` to ensure that these mutating accesses
are performed only on finalised Closures. Both the check and the
field are present only if `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]`.

Currently, the span on *all* thunk force errors is the span at which the
thunk is forced, which for recursive thunk forcing ends up just being
the same span over and over again. This changes the span on thunk force
errors to be the span at which point the thunk is *created*, which is a
bit more helpful (though the printing atm is a little... crowded). To
make this work, we have to thread through the span at which a thunk is
created into a field on the thunk itself.

Using rust's PartialEq trait to implement Nix equality semantics is
reasonably fraught with peril, both because the actual laws are
different than what nix expects, and (more importantly) because certain
things actually require extra context to compare for equality (for
example, thunks need to be forced). This converts the manual PartialEq
impl for Value (and all its descendants) to a *derived* PartialEq
impl (which requires a lot of extra PartialEq derives on miscellanious
other types within the codebase), and converts the previous
nix-semantics equality comparison into a new `nix_eq` method. This
returns an EvalResult, even though it can't currently return an error,
to allow it to fail when eg forcing thunks (which it will do soon).
Since the PartialEq impls for Value and NixAttrs are now quite boring,
this converts the generated proptests for those into handwritten ones
that cover `nix_eq` instead

At the point where control flow exits Thunk::force (which may be due
to recursing), it is vital that there is no longer a borrow to the
inner thunk representation, otherwise this can cause accidental
infinite recursion (which will be detected, but cause failures on
valid code).

This could occur when the disassembler is enabled and tracing the
runtime while a thunk is being evaluated, as it would not be possible
for the *tracer* to borrow the thunk at this exact moment.
However, we know that if the borrowing fails here we are dealing with
a not-fully evaluated thunk (blackhole), which should just print the
internal representation.

Previously, "calling" (setting up the VM run loop for executing a call
frame) and "running" (running this loop to completion) were separate
operations.
This was basically an attempt to avoid nesting `VM::run` invocations.
However, doing things this way introduced some tricky bugs for exiting
out of the call frames of thunks vs. builtins & closures.
For now, we unify the two operations and always return the value to
the caller directly. For now this makes calls a little less effective,
but it gives us a chance to nail down some other strange behaviours
and then re-optimise this afterwards.
To make sure we tackle this again further down I've added it to the
list of known possible optimisations.

With this, if an error occurs while forcing a thunk (which is very
likely) it is threaded through to the top by wrapping it in the
ErrorKind::ThunkForce variant.
We could use this to generate "stacktrace-like" error output if we
wanted, or simply jump through and discard everything except the
innermost error.

Previously error spans were optional because the information about
code spans was not available at runtime. Now that this information has
been added, the error type will always carry a span.
This change is very invasive all throughout the codebase. This is due
to the fact that many functions that are called *by* the VM expected
to return `EvalResult`, but this no longer works as the span
information is not available to those functions - only to the VM
itself.
To work around this the majority of these functions have been changed
to return `Result<T, ErrorKind>` instead and an accompanying macro in
the VM constructs the "real" error.
Note that this implementatino currently has a bug where errors
occuring within thunks will yield the location at which the thunk was
forced, not the location at which the error occured within the code.
This will be fixed soon, but the commit is large enough as is.

If a thunk is already evaluated, there are cases where due to the
memoisation implementation something might observe a value wrapped in
a thunk.
In these cases, the implementation of `Display` and `PartialEq` must
delegate to the underlying value.
Note that there are a handful of other cases like these which we need
to cover.
It is a little tricky to write integration tests for these directly,
especially as some of the open-upvalue optimisations coming down the
pipe will reduce the number of observable thunks.
One test that covers a part of this behaviour is currently
disabled (needs some more machinery), but it's being brought back in
the next commits.

The VM previously took care of repeatedly forcing a thunk until it
reached an evaluated state. This logic is now encapsulated inside of
the `Thunk::force` implementation.
In addition, force no longer returns a reference to the value by
default, leaving it up to callers to decide whether they want to
borrow the value or not (a helper is provided for this).

This operation forces the evaluation of a thunk.
There is some potential here for making an implementation that avoids
some copies, but the thunk machinery is tricky to get right so the
first priority is to make sure it is correct by keeping the
implementation simple.

This trait abstracts over the commonalities of upvalue handling
between closures and thunks.
It allows the VM to simplify the code used for setting up upvalues,
without duplicating between the two different types.
Note that this does not yet refactor the VM code to optimally make use
of this.

For now, do not distinguish between closing and non-closing thunks, it
will make the initial implementation easier. See Knuth etc.
