Closes#1336
When restarting postgresql, the connections are still reused in
`hydra-queue-runner` causing errors like this
main thread: Lost connection to the database server.
queue monitor: Lost connection to the database server.
and no more builds being processed.
`hydra-evaluator` doesn't have that issue since it crashes right away.
We could let it retry indefinitely as well (see below), but I don't
want to change too much.
If the DB is still unreachable 10s later, the process will stop with a
non-zero exit code because of a missing DB connection. This however
isn't such a big deal because it will be immediately restarted
afterwards. With the current configuration, Hydra will never give up,
but restart (and retry) infinitely. To me that seems reasonable, i.e. to
retry DB connections on a long-running process. If this doesn't work
out, the monitoring should fire anyways because the queue fills up, but
I'm open to discuss that.
Please note that this isn't reproducible with the DB and the queue
runner on the same machine when using `services.hydra-dev`, because of
the `Requires=` dependency `hydra-queue-runner.service` ->
`hydra-init.service` -> `postgresql.service` that causes the queue
runner to be restarted on `systemctl restart postgresql`.
Internally, Hydra uses Nix's pool data structure: it basically has N
slots (here DB connections) and whenever a new one is requested, an idle
slot is provided or a new one is created (when N slots are active, it'll
be waited until one slot is free). The issue in the code here is however
that whenever an error is encountered, the slot is released, however the
same broken connection will be reused the next time. By using
`Pool::Handle::markBad`, Nix will drop a broken slot. This is now being
done when `pqxx::broken_connection` was caught.
This was the source of a flaky test because sometimes hydra-notify was
quick enough to send out `buildStarted` and sometimes it apparently
wasn't which was quickly spottable with `nix build --rebuild`.
Removing that status update doesn't make a difference functionally,
gitea doesn't differentiate between "queued" and "running", so we send
the same status ("pending") out on both events, so we'd even safe one
avoidable request.
It's a pet peeve from me when logging into my personal Hydra that I
always have to press the button rather than hitting Return after entering
my password.
Reason for that is that the form doesn't have a "submit" button, so far
it was always listened to the "click" event. Submit does that and you
can hit Return alternatively.
Implements support for Nix's new Perl bindings[1]. The current state
basically does `openStore()`, but always uses `auto` and doesn't support
stores at other URIs.
Even though the stores are cached inside the Perl implementation, I
decided to instantiate those once in the Nix helper module. That way
store openings aren't cluttered across the entire codebase. Also, there
are two stores used later on - MACHINE_LOCAL_STORE for `auto`,
BINARY_CACHE_STORE for the one from `store_uri` in `hydra.conf` - and
using consistent names should make the intent clearer then.
This doesn't contain any behavioral changes, i.e. the build product
availability issue from #1352 isn't fixed. This patch only contains the
migration to the new API.

This is an integration test that confirms that jobset definitions from
git repositories are correctly built and status updates pushed to the
gitea instance. The following things needed to be fixed:
* We're still on 23.05 where gitea is marked as insecure. Not going to
update nixpkgs right now, but going for the quick fix.
* Since gitea 1.19 tokens have scopes that describe what's possible.
Not specifying the scope in the DB appears to imply that no
permissions are granted.
* Apparently we have three status updates now (for three status hooks,
queued/started/finished). No idea why that was broken before, but the
behavior still looks correct.
Re-creating `nix-next` after using it in #1354.
Flake lock file updates:
• Updated input 'nix':

In 1bd195a513 strictDeps was set for the
Hydra package. As a result, `checkInputs` aren't available anymore in
the local dev-shell which is the sole purpose of foreman, to start
services and a database for development.
In 5db374cb50 the `bootstrap` script was
removed, however it's still referenced in the contribution guidelines.
Change that to `autoreconfPhase` as intended by the commit.
This verison has a worse UI, but also chnages the schema less: One
non-null constraint is removed, but no new columns are added.

We have to oddly make a `StoreConfig` subclass to get it, but
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9848 will fix that.
The purpose of this is to ensure that, absent an explicit config,
`localhost` includes `ca-derivations` and `recursive-nix` if those
experimental features are enabled.
Very much the complement of #1342, the previous PR.
A slight dedup, and also ensures that floating CA derivations require a
`ca-derivations` experimental feature. This fixes the scheduling issue
that @SuperSandro2000 found.
