The idea is two-fold:
- Replace autotools with Meson
- Build each library in its own derivation
The interaction of these two features is that Meson's "subprojects"
feature (https://mesonbuild.com/Subprojects) allows us to have single
dev shell for building all libraries still, while also building things
separately. This allows us to break up the build without a huge
productivity lost.
I tested the Linux native build, and NetBSD and Windows cross builds.
Also do some clean ups of the Flake in the process of supporting new
jobs.
Special thanks to everyone that has worked on a Meson port so far,
@p01arst0rm and @Qyriad in particular.

This is not really part of the evaluator: it is just an integration
between Boehm GC and Boost coroutines usable for any purpose. The
evaluator (merely) optionally uses it.
Since 24.05 (I think) we need to pass `-c` or Clang thinks we want to
compile *both* a final executable and precompiled header file, and
complains that we cannot use `-o` with multiple outputs. `-c` seems fine
with GCC too, so I just put it in there conditionally.
the thesis is still the defining document with all the motivation and
explanations.
adding it here for greater visibility.
also more emphasis and clarity around the community aspect.
the hydra build job seems a bit arbitrary right there. may be better for
the contributing guide.

throwing exceptions is fine, but throwing exceptions during exception
handling is hard enough to do correctly that we should just forbid it
entirely out of an overabundance of caution. in cases where terminate
is the correct answer the users of Finally must call it manually now.

In most real world cases, the Link header is set on the redirect, not on
the final file. This regressed in Lix earlier and while new unit tests
were added to cover it, this integration test should probably have also
caught it.

* 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:
