Closes#16182
This improves the error message
Error: _assignFirst found no valid variant!
which occurred when the set of outputs was not sufficient to set
the various outputDev, outputBin, etc variables. Specifically, this
would mean that "out" is not among the outputs, which is valid for
a derivation.
This changes the message to something like
error: _assignFirst: could not find a non-empty variable to assign to outputDev. The following variables were all unset or empty: dev out.
If you did not define an "out" output, make sure to define all the specific required outputs: define an output for one of the unset variables.
While this isn't a full explanation of what stdenv can and can not do,
I think it's vast improvement over the 0 bits of information that it
used to provide. This at least gives a clue as to what's going on, and
even suggests a fix, although probably multiple such fixes are required
in an instance where someone starts with a no-out derivation from scratch
(and decide to persist).

stdenv: print message if structuredAttrs is enabled

reduces the chance of a user doing it wrong
fix nix develop issue
output hooks don't work yet in nix develop though
making $outputs be the same on non-structuredAttrs and structuredAttrs
is too much trouble.
lets instead make a function that gets the output names
reading environment file '/nix/store/2x7m69a2sm2kh0r6v0q5s9z1dh41m4xf-xz-5.2.5-env-bin'
nix: src/nix/develop.cc:299: std::string Common::makeRcScript(nix::ref<nix::Store>, const BuildEnvironment&, const Path&): Assertion `outputs != buildEnvironment.vars.end()' failed.
use a function to get all output names instead of using $outputs

The comment suggested that "{foo,bar}" is a supported pattern, which
is not true. "{foo,bar}" is only understood by brace expansion but the
code performs only globbing. We replace the comment with "[abc]",
which is a correct example of globbing.
This is supposed to shareDocName to a fallback value if it can't be
determined from looking at the configure script. But the conditional
checked whether shareDocName was set, rather than if it wasn't. This
meant that if shareDocName had been detected from a configure script,
it would be immediately overridden by the package name, and if it
couldn't be detected, shareDocName would remain unset.
This resulted in QEMU installing files like $out/share/doc/index.html,
which should of course have been in $out/share/doc/qemu/index.html.
An interesting side effect of this is that, since
9f8751528c when this code was added, the
detected package name has never actually been used for installing
documentation, because it would always be overridden. So this patch
will actually enable that for the first time, four years later.

This continues #23374, which always kept around both attributes, by
always including both propagated files: `propgated-native-build-inputs`
and `propagated-build-inputs`. `nativePkgs` and `crossPkgs` are still
defined as before, however, so this change should only barely
observable.
This is an incremental step to fully keeping the dependencies separate
in all cases.
As @oxij points out in [1], this breakage is especially serious because
it changes the contents of built environments without a corresonding
change in their hashes. Also, the revert is easier than I thought.
This reverts commit 3cb745d5a6.

This makes those files a bit easier to read. Also, for what it's worth,
it brings us one baby step closer to handling spaces in store paths.
Also, I optimized handling of many transitive deps with read. Probably,
not very beneficial, but nice to enforce the pkg-per-line structure.
Doing so let me find much dubious code and fix it.
Two misc notes:
- `propagated-user-env-packages` also needed to be adjusted as
sometimes it is copied to/from the propagated input files.
- `local fd` should ensure that file descriptors aren't clobbered
during recursion.
I believe this reduces surprises and is actually simpler semantically.
This is important e.g. for relative symlinks when moving both source
and target - now the order of moving won't matter.
Fixes#20723 (a particular instance of the surprise).
They now go to devman, devdoc, or $outputMan, in that order. This is
to prevent cases such as the man-pages package quietly losing its
section 3 pages.
- the default --docdir is typically DATAROOTDIR/doc/pkgName
- I saw no other way than to employ some magic to guess this `pkgName`
- user can override it by setting $shareDocName
- fix in silencing some moveToOutput messages
- allow removing (developer) documentation even without defining outputs
(note: some paths are auto-removed by default, e.g. gtk-doc and man3)
Now any developer docs are removed by default, unless "docdev"
is in $outputs or $outputDocdev is defined.
Currently devdoc consists of just man3 and gtk-doc.
'[[ ! -v "$propagatedOutputs" ]]' is incorrect and always evaluates to
true. The correct form using double brackets would be
'[[ ! -v propagatedOutputs ]]', but I strongly dislike '[[ ]]' due to
the totally different quoting rules compared to everything else in bash.
Now development stuff is propagated from the first output,
and userEnvPkgs from the one with binaries.
Also don't move *.la files (yet). It causes problems, and they're small.
Now it should contain *all* information from stdenv/setup.sh of
the original mutiple-output branch.
However, the configurability of the output paths is much greater.
