We already attest to the relevant dist-archive in inputs.SHA256SUMS,
which is recorded at build-time.
We use a SKIPATTEST.TAG file to indicate output directories which do not
require attestation (much like the CACHEDIR.TAG specification).
Generally, it's better to have build scripts declare properties of
directories instead of introducing name-based special cases in attest
scripts since build scripts have a more detailed context of what is
going on.
At build/codesigning-time, hash build inputs and output the digest to
${OUTDIR}/inputs.SHA256SUMS, which gets included in the final SHA256SUMS
constructed by guix-attest.
Example final SHA256SUMS:
ee832d2a35b7701bff581dea05a536118b118e3ad0a587a2855b6ee8cd6fba20 inputs/bitcoin-78199266af7b.tar.gz

While files are being output to $OUTDIR, it will be under
${DISTSRC}/output, and only when everything is done, will
${DISTSRC}/output be moved to the actual $OUTDIR.
This makes it so that a Ctrl-C in the middle of a build is less likely
to result in a partially-constructed $OUTDIR. In fact, if I understand
correctly, if $OUTDIR and $DISTSRC reside on the same filesystem, the
move (rename) is likely atomic.
Also, since the "working $OUTDIR" is under ${DISTSRC}/output, it will be
cleaned properly by the guix-clean script.
c799a19b4b build, qt: No longer need to set QT_RCC_TEST=1 for determinism (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
The Qt Resource Compiler (rcc) output order relies on [`QHash`](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qhash.html):
> This randomization of `QHash` is enabled by default. Even though programs should never depend on a particular `QHash` ordering, there may be situations where you temporarily need deterministic behavior, for example for debugging or regression testing. To disable the randomization, define the environment variable `QT_HASH_SEED` to have the value 0.
Since #3620 we use `QT_RCC_TEST=1` to achieve a deterministic output.
Since Qt 5.3.1 hash seeding is disabled for all of the bootstrapped tools, including rcc. Therefore, `QT_RCC_TEST=1` is no longer needed.

guix: Record precious directories and add guix-clean
Many users have reported problems that stem from having an unclean
working tree. To that end, I've written a guix-clean script which should
help reset the working tree while respecting user-specified precious
directories.
Precious directories, such as:
- SOURCES_PATH
- BASE_CACHE
- SDK_PATH
- OUTDIR
Should be preserved when cleaning the working tree, and are thus
recorded in ./contrib/guix/var/precious_dirs.
The ./contrib/guix/guix-clean script is able to parse that file and make
sure to avoid them when cleaning out the working tree.

By registering the container profiles as garbage collector roots, it
will prevent `guix gc` from garbage collecting derivations which our
container needs and inconvieniencing the user with a rebuild.

This relatively easy change eliminates all runtime dependencies (except
for the kernel) for dmg, which is the only native build tool that gets
put in our output tarballs.
This allows much more flexibility when constructing the codesigning
environment, and is much more robust.
./windeploy is a "working directory", and therefore belongs inside
distsrc-*. Many people have noticed their Guix builds failing after
hours simply because they did not remove windeploy (but did remove the
distsrc-* directories).
In Guix, there are two flags for controlling parallelism:
Note: When I say "derivation," think "package"
--cores=n
- controls the number of CPU cores to build each derivation. This is
the value passed to `make`'s `--jobs=` flag.
- defaults to 0: as many cores as is available
--max-jobs=n
- controls how many derivations can be built in parallel
- defaults to 1
Therefore, if set --max-jobs=$MAX_JOBS and don't set --cores, Guix could
theoretically spin up $MAX_JOBS * $(nproc) number of threads, and that's
no good.
So we could either default to --cores=1, --max-jobs=$MAX_JOBS
- Pro: --cores=1 means that `make` will be invoked with `-j1`,
avoiding problems with package whose build systems and test
suites break when running multi-threaded.
- Con: There will be times when only 1 or 2 derivations can be built
at a time, because the rest of the dependency graph all depend
on those 1 or 2 derivations. During these times, the machine
will be severely under-utilized.
or --cores=$MAX_JOBS, --max-jobs=1
- Pro: We don't encounter prolonged periods of
severe under-utilization mentioned above.
- Con: Many packages' build systems and test suites break when running
multi-threaded.
or --cores=1, --max-jobs=1 and let the user override with

Pull request description:
On bumping the time-machine:
```
A few changes which are useful for us:
1. 'gnu: cross-gcc-arguments: Enable 128 bit long double for POWER9.' is
now merged into master.
2. gnutls is bumped to 3.6.15 and the temporal test failure in
status-request-revoked is fixed. Note that this does not fix the case
where one has installed Guix v1.2.0 and is running a substitute-less
bootstrap build, since the `guix time-machine` command itself has a
dependency on gnutls v3.6.12 (the one with the broken test) and will
thus try to build it before attempting to jump forwards in time. This
does however, mean that those who build a version of Guix that also
contains this fix will not go backwards in time to build the broken
gnutls v3.6.12.
```
On bumping the rest:
```
Bump glibc and linux-headers to match those of our Gitian counterparts.
We also require a glibc >= 2.28 for the test-symbol-check scripts to
work properly.
The default BASE-GCC-FOR-LIBC also has to be bumped since glibc 2.31
requires a gcc >= 6.2
```
