This broke in #11005. Any number of PathSubstitutionGoals would
be woken up by a single build slot becoming available. If there
are a lot of substitution goals active, this could lead to us
running out of file descriptors (especially on macOS where the
default limit is 256).

In d60c3f7f7c, this was changed to close a
hole in the sandbox. Unfortunately, this was too restrictive such that it
made local port binding fail, thus making derivations that needed
`__darwinAllowLocalNetworking` gain nearly nothing, and thus largely
fail (as the primary use for it is to enable port binding).
This unfortunately does mean that a sandboxed build process can, in
coordination with an actor outside the sandbox, escape the sandbox by
binding a port and connecting to it externally to send data. I do not
see a way around this with my experimentation and understanding of the
(quite undocumented) macOS sandbox profile API. Notably it seems not
possible to use the sandbox to do any of:
- Restrict the remote IP of inbound network requests
- Restrict the address being bound to
As such, the `(local ip "*:*")` here appears to be functionally no
different than `(local ip "localhost:*")` (however it *should* be
different than removing the filter entirely, as that would make it also
apply to non-IP networking). Doing `(allow network-inbound (require-all
(local ip "localhost:*") (remote ip "localhost:*")))` causes listening
to fail.
Note that `network-inbound` implies `network-bind`.

In the FFI world we have many tools that are not gcc/clang and therefore
not always support the latest C standard. This fixes support with cffi
i.e. used in https://github.com/tweag/python-nix

It is not an error if queryPathInfo() indicates that a path does not
exist in the substituter.
Fixes#11198. This was broken in 846869da0e.

It was failing with:
error: AWS error fetching 'nix-cache-info': The specified bucket does not exist
because `S3BinaryCacheStoreImpl` had a `bucketName` field that
shadowed the inherited `bucketName from `S3BinaryCacheStoreConfig`.

We didn't even realize you *could* use this syntax with -E and -f, much
less that the attribute path could be *empty*.

* docs: unify documentation on search paths
- put all the information on search path semantics into `builtins.findFile`
- put all the information on determining the value of `builtins.nixPath` into the
`nix-path` setting
maybe `builtins.nixPath` is a better place for this, but those bits
can still be moved around now that it's all next to each other.
- link to the syntax page for lookup paths from all places that are
concerned with it
- add or clarify examples
- add a test verifying a claim from documentation
Few filesystem-related tests rely on PATH_MAX for buffers, and PATH_MAX
is optional in POSIX (and not available on the Hurd). To make them build
and pass, provide a fallback definition of PATH_MAX in case not
available.
Ideally speaking, the tests ought to not unconditionally rely on
PATH_MAX, do alternative strategies (e.g. dynamically allocate buffers,
expand them as needed, etc); OTOH this is test code, so it would be more
work that what it would be worth, so IMHO the define fallback is good
enough.
Set HOST_HURD & HOST_UNIX for GNU/Hurd in the makefile-based build
system; the latter variable is important as it will include all the
commit Unix bits.
