This is #14262 rebased against master.

cc @joachifm

This module adds support for defining a flexget service.

Due to flexget insisting on being able to write all over where it finds
its configuration file, we use a ExecStartPre hook to copy the generated
configuration file into place under the user's home. It's fairly ugly
and I'm very open to suggestions

Fixed eval in 1834e72

It really sucks that our travis doesn't evaluate NixOS modules. :(

- **Fix heap-use-after-free crash under high build load** ([NixOS#14772](NixOS/nix#14772))

  Fixed a daemon segfault that could occur under high build load. The issue was caused by the `initialOutputs` field referencing data from an activation frame that had gone out of scope during coroutine tail-call optimization in the build scheduler.

- **Fix segfault when querying non-existent derivation files** ([NixOS#14571](NixOS/nix#14571), [NixOS#14572](NixOS/nix#14572))

  Running `nix derivation show /nix/store/...-doesnotexist.drv` would crash with a segfault. Now properly returns an "invalid store path" error.

- **Fix RestrictedStore::addDependency crash** ([NixOS#14729](NixOS/nix#14729))

  Fixed a crash caused by incorrect non-virtual interface pattern implementation that led to bad recursion/UB in `addDependencyPrep`.

- **Fix "dynamic attributes not allowed in let" regression** ([NixOS#14642](NixOS/nix#14642), [NixOS#14646](NixOS/nix#14646))

  Expressions like `let a = 1; "b" = 2; ${"c"} = 3; in [ a b c ]` that worked in 2.30 would incorrectly fail in 2.32.x. This was caused by the ExprString arena optimization, which has been reverted.

- **Fix fetchGit with `ref = "HEAD"` regression** ([NixOS#13948](NixOS/nix#13948), [NixOS#14672](NixOS/nix#14672))

  `fetchGit { url = "..."; ref = "HEAD"; }` was broken and returned "revspec 'HEAD' not found".

- **Fix unnecessary substituter queries** ([NixOS#14836](NixOS/nix#14836), [NixOS#14837](NixOS/nix#14837))

  Fixed a regression where Nix would query all substituters (including `cache.nixos.org`) even when a higher-priority local substituter already had the path. This caused unnecessary network traffic.

- **Fix curl with c-ares failing DNS resolution in macOS sandbox** ([NixOS#14792](NixOS/nix#14792))

  When curl is built with c-ares (as in recent nixpkgs), DNS resolution would fail inside the Nix build sandbox on macOS with "Could not contact DNS servers".

- **Fix file system race conditions in store optimization** ([NixOS#14676](NixOS/nix#14676), [NixOS#7273](NixOS/nix#7273))

  Multiple fixes to `optimizePath_`:
  - Actually call `remove()` when `rename()` fails
  - Propagate error codes in `createSymlink()`
  - Make `AutoDelete` non-copyable and non-movable to prevent use-after-free

- **Include path in world-writable error messages** ([NixOS#14785](NixOS/nix#14785))

  The error message for world-writable directory checks now includes the specific path that failed, making debugging easier.

- **Documentation: correct `build-dir` error information** ([NixOS#14745](NixOS/nix#14745))

  Fixed out-of-date information in the manual about `build-dir` errors and added links to relevant settings.

- CI improvements: added `upload-release.yml` workflow, improved Docker push workflow configurability, updated magic-nix-cache with post-build-hook fix
- Documented maintainer git tag signing process
- Fixed lowdown override compatibility with newer nixpkgs
- Removed mdbook-linkcheck and added support for mdbook 0.5.x
- Remove static data from headers to fix compilation issues

### Critical Crashes Fixed

- **Fix heap-use-after-free crash under high build load** ([NixOS#14772](NixOS/nix#14772))

  Fixed a daemon segfault that could occur under high build load. The issue was caused by the `initialOutputs` field referencing data from an activation frame that had gone out of scope during coroutine tail-call optimization in the build scheduler.

- **Fix segfault when querying non-existent derivation files** ([NixOS#14571](NixOS/nix#14571), [NixOS#14572](NixOS/nix#14572))

  Running `nix derivation show /nix/store/...-doesnotexist.drv` would crash with a segfault. Now properly returns an "invalid store path" error.

- **Fix RestrictedStore::addDependency crash** ([NixOS#14729](NixOS/nix#14729))

  Fixed a crash caused by incorrect non-virtual interface pattern implementation that led to bad recursion/UB in `addDependencyPrep`.

### Regressions Fixed

- **Fix "dynamic attributes not allowed in let" regression** ([NixOS#14642](NixOS/nix#14642), [NixOS#14646](NixOS/nix#14646))

  Expressions like `let a = 1; "b" = 2; ${"c"} = 3; in [ a b c ]` that worked in 2.30 would incorrectly fail in 2.32.x. This was caused by the ExprString arena optimization, which has been reverted.

- **Fix fetchGit with `ref = "HEAD"` regression** ([NixOS#13948](NixOS/nix#13948), [NixOS#14672](NixOS/nix#14672))

  `fetchGit { url = "..."; ref = "HEAD"; }` was broken and returned "revspec 'HEAD' not found".

- **Fix unnecessary substituter queries** ([NixOS#14836](NixOS/nix#14836), [NixOS#14837](NixOS/nix#14837))

  Fixed a regression where Nix would query all substituters (including `cache.nixos.org`) even when a higher-priority local substituter already had the path. This caused unnecessary network traffic.

### Platform-Specific Fixes

- **Fix curl with c-ares failing DNS resolution in macOS sandbox** ([NixOS#14792](NixOS/nix#14792))

  When curl is built with c-ares (as in recent nixpkgs), DNS resolution would fail inside the Nix build sandbox on macOS with "Could not contact DNS servers".

### Store & File System Fixes

- **Fix file system race conditions in store optimization** ([NixOS#14676](NixOS/nix#14676), [NixOS#7273](NixOS/nix#7273))

  Multiple fixes to `optimizePath_`:
  - Actually call `remove()` when `rename()` fails
  - Propagate error codes in `createSymlink()`
  - Make `AutoDelete` non-copyable and non-movable to prevent use-after-free

## Improvements

- **Include path in world-writable error messages** ([NixOS#14785](NixOS/nix#14785))

  The error message for world-writable directory checks now includes the specific path that failed, making debugging easier.

- **Documentation: correct `build-dir` error information** ([NixOS#14745](NixOS/nix#14745))

  Fixed out-of-date information in the manual about `build-dir` errors and added links to relevant settings.

## Maintenance

- CI improvements: added `upload-release.yml` workflow, improved Docker push workflow configurability, updated magic-nix-cache with post-build-hook fix
- Documented maintainer git tag signing process
- Fixed lowdown override compatibility with newer nixpkgs
- Removed mdbook-linkcheck and added support for mdbook 0.5.x
- Remove static data from headers to fix compilation issues
- **Fix heap-use-after-free crash under high build load** ([NixOS#14772](NixOS/nix#14772))
