nixception 0.5.0

This release finishes untangling nixception from its NativeLink origins: the
crate is named nixception, the runner's identity is fixed at build time
instead of runtime, and the integration test suite now lives — and runs —
in this repo.

Highlights

  • The crate is nixception, not nativelink. Cargo.toml names the
    package after its only binary, and every flake output that used to shadow
    it under the old name is gone. Nothing downstream should have depended on
    the nativelink name, but if you scripted around it, switch to
    nixception.

  • The runner is baked into the binary, not passed at start-up. Packaging
    (the nixpkgs nixception package, or this repo's own flake) builds the
    runner first and compiles its store paths directly into the server —
    NIXCEPTION_RUNNER_OUT/NIXCEPTION_RUNNER_DRV are no longer runtime
    configuration. The untested self-build fallback that used to reconstruct
    the runner via nix build at start-up is gone with it.

  • NIXCEPTION_EXTRA_SANDBOX_PATHS replaces per-caller runner
    customization.     Need a compiler or other tool inside a remote action's
    sandbox? Set this env var (colon-separated /nix/store/… paths) on the
    server process instead of building a custom runner via
    nixceptionHook.withPackages, which no longer exists.

  • The integration suite lives here now. recc-smoke-test, recc-hello,
    recc-spdlog, recc-nix, the two Bazel checks, and
    protoc-gen-js-with-nixception moved from the private orchestration
    workspace into checks/ in this repo, and test this repo's own source —
    run them all with nix flake check.

  • Fixed a Permission denied regression on actions that execute a tool
    built by an earlier remote action (e.g. Bazel running its own
    remotely-built protoc) — a fix from earlier development had been
    silently lost in a later sync and is now restored.
