When --unpack was used the nix would add the current directory to the
nix store instead of the content of unpacked.
The reason for this is that std::distance already consumes the iterator.
To fix this we re-instantiate the directory iterator in case the
directory only contains a single entry.

The recent fix for CVE-2024-38531 broke the sandbox on macOS
completely. As it’s not practical to use `chroot(2)` on
macOS, the build takes place in the main filesystem tree, and the
world‐unreadable wrapper directory prevents the build from accessing
its `$TMPDIR` at all.
The macOS sandbox probably shouldn’t be treated as any kind of a
security boundary in its current state, but this specific vulnerability
wasn’t possible to exploit on macOS anyway, as creating `set{u,g}id`
binaries is blocked by sandbox policy.
Locking down the build sandbox further may be a good idea in future,
but it already has significant compatibility issues. For now, restore
the previous status quo on macOS.
Thanks to @alois31 for helping me come to a better understanding of
the vulnerability.

After the fix for CVE-2024-38531, this was only removing the nested
build directory, rather than the top‐level temporary directory.

This is useful for testing/debugging and maybe for sharing eval caches
(since it tells you what file in ~/.cache/nix/eval-cache-v5 to copy).

GitHub Actions seems to have magically switched architectures
without changing their identifiers.
See 2813ee66cb/README.md (available-images)
Maybe they have more complete documentation elsewhere, but it
seems to be incapable of selecting a runner based on architecture.

Previously, the .chroot directory had permission 750 or 755 (depending
on the uid-range system feature) and was owned by root/nixbld. This
makes it possible for any nixbld user (if uid-range is disabled) or
any user (if uid-range is enabled) to inspect the contents of the
chroot of an active build and maybe interfere with it (e.g. via /tmp
in the chroot, which has 1777 permission).
To prevent this, the root is now a subdirectory of .chroot, which has
permission 700 and is owned by root/root.

Instead of running the builds under
`$TMPDIR/{unique-build-directory-owned-by-the-build-user}`, run them
under `$TMPDIR/{unique-build-directory-owned-by-the-daemon}/{subdir-owned-by-the-build-user}`
where the build directory is only readable and traversable by the daemon user.
This achieves two things:
1. It prevents builders from making their build directory world-readable
(or even writeable), which would allow the outside world to interact
with them.
2. It prevents external processes running as the build user (either
because that somehow leaked, maybe as a consequence of 1., or because
`build-users` isn't in use) from gaining access to the build
directory.

Previously (in cfc18a7739), we forgot to
compare the algo at all. This means we keep the same ordering as before
by making the stuff we always have compared take priority.

* docs: fix python nix-shell example
This Python code snippet depended on Python 2 which has been marked as insecure in 24.05.
I modernized the example so new users will not be surprised upon copying and pasting the snippet for exploration.

Before, `-lnixutil` was just stuck in `nix-store.pc`, but that doesn't
seem so nice.
This prepares us to distribute `libnixutil` in a separate package if we
want, but it should be a good change either way. I suspect it wasn't
done before because libutil was an extra unstable interface, but I don't
think we need worry about that. *All* the C++ is less stable than the C
(or that's the goal at least).
For what it's worth, Lix also created this pkg-config file *en passant*
during their rename:
