We didn't return anything useful other than ErrorKind::IO anyways.
We can use io::ErrorKind::Unsupported for DummyIO.
Fixes b/271.

This grows the frame stack as the call stack grows, which yields *much*
better user-facing error messages.
I haven't measured the performance impact this has yet, for now I'm
still just trying to add more information to errors and then cut down
again where necessary.

This makes it possible for callers to control whether they can receive
partially evaluated values from an evaluation or not.
We're actually flipping the default behaviour to non-strict top-level
evaluation, which means that callers have to set `strict = true` on
the Evaluation to get the previous behaviour.

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.

This produces traces in which we can see what kind of native code was
run. Note that these "names" are named after the generator message, so
these aren't *really* intended for end-user consumption, but we can
give them saner names later.
Example:
https://gist.github.com/tazjin/82b24e92ace8e821008954867ee05057
This already makes the traces a little easier to parse.

When emitting an error at runtime, the VM will now use the new
`NativeError` and `BytecodeError` error kinds (which just wrap inner
errors) to create a set of diagnostics to emit.
The primary diagnostic is emitted last, with `error` type (so it will
be coloured red in terminals), the other ones will be emitted with
`note` type, highlighting the causal chain.
Example:
https://gist.github.com/tazjin/25feba7d211702453c9ebd5f8fd378e4
This is currently quite verbose, and we can cut down on this further,
but the purpose of this commit is to surface more information first of
all before worrying about the exact display.

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.

* We no longer need backtrace-on-stack-overflow, as we no longer

voodoo anyways, introduced earlier to debug some cases where stack
overflows occured.

This reorders the operations in the VM's main `match` statement while
evaluating bytecode according to the frequency with which these
operations appear in some nixpkgs evaluations.
I used raw data that looks like this:
https://gist.github.com/tazjin/63d0788a78eb8575b04defaad4ef610d
This has a small but noticeable impact on evaluation performance.
No operations have changed in any way, this is purely moving code
around.

The name of this was not accurate anymore after all the recent
shuffling, as noted by amjoseph. Conceptual tail calls here only occur
for Nix bytecode calling Nix bytecode, but things like a builtin call
actually push a new native frame.

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.

Do not print the entire value (they're likely to be thunks anyways).
This is useful because there *can* be cases where something like
`nixpkgs` itself is sent through one of these messages, in which case
the observer trying to print it will just blow up.

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.

Adds a `Value::neo_nix_eq` method (the `neo_` prefix will be dropped
when we flip over to the generator implementation of the VM) which
implements Nix equality semantics using async, generator-based
comparisons.
Instead of tracking the "kind" of equality that is being compared (see
the pointer-equality doc) through a pair of booleans, I've introduced
an enum that explicitly lists the possible comparisons.

For most of these, an async helper function is added that will be used
inside of generator functions to make use of these requests/responses
instead of constructing them directly.
