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

Instead of the two different representations (which we don't really

off `Value`).
NixString values themselves are immutable anyways (which was a
guarantee we already had with `SmolStr`), so this doesn't change

The size of a `Vector<Value>` is 64 *bytes*, which is quite large, and
it bloated the entire Value type to this size.
This change adds an indirection for the inner vector through Rc.
Initially I tried to use a Box, but this breaks pointer equality
guarantees for the Vector when it is small enough to be inlined.
This reduces the size of Value from 64 to 32 bytes.

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.

In order to implement an asynchronous builtins.sort (required for
moving builtins to generators), we need an `async` sorting algorithm
as our comparators involve invoking a Nix function.
This commit implements a fairly simple, optimised bubble sort as the
sorting algorithm used in our `async fn sort_by`.
There don't seem to be any crates providing async versions of things
like this, and they might actually be pretty hard to implement
generically due to some constraints about how `async` works.
Note that this algorithm is less efficient than the hybrid
"timsort/mergesort/insert sort" used in the Rust standard library. I
tried to write a merge sort implementation, but ran into isuses with
the sort becoming unstable because our comparators can not yield
equality. This is the simplest implementation which I know to be
correct.
Note that as of this commit this is *not* covered by the Tvix test
suite, but it will be as soon as the rest of the generator code lands.

The place invoking `compile_dead_code` has more context to why the code

Stop emitting the less informative warning inside compile_dead_code
(W008), and update the comment that we expect the caller to emit a
warning.
I kept W008 itself still around, in case we end up having places this
will get used again.

This reduces the size of `Builtin` from 88 (!) bytes to 8, and as the

The next largest type is NixList, clocking in at 64 bytes.
This has noticeable performance impact. In an implementation without

When resolving a select expression (`attrs.name` or `attrs.name or

notably the case with `builtins`) we can backtrack and replace that
attribute set directly with the compiled value.
For something like `builtins.length`, this will directly emit an
`OpConstant` that leaves the `length` builtin on the stack.

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.

... not just a TODO.
Most use-cases of unsafeDiscardStringContext are for cases where a
string is processed in some ways and no longer contains a "physical"
reference, but still has its context attached in C++ Nix.
We don't need to do this. This does diverge in behaviour in use-cases
related to build scheduling, but that whole behaviour will be
different in Tvix.

... instead of a BTreeMap, as we do not need ordering guarantees here.
HashMaps are noticeably faster here (especially as we've been sorting
essentially random data!).
