Without providers (also called plugins) pulumi doesn't do much. The way
they work, if you want to use a provider, pulimi will look for it in
your PATH, and if not found it will download it. Providers are just
executables, but third party binaries usually don't work on nixos unless
they are patched with the patchelf utility. Because of that, I'm
installing some patched providers with the main pulumi binary.
I'm also adding a small script helper to generate the hashes for all the
binaries.
Cairo is also a dependency now.
/tmp/nix-build-inkscape-0.92.4.drv-0/inkscape-0.92.4/src/display/drawing-context.h:20:10: fatal error: 'cairo.h' file not found

Automated consumers can use 'sed 1d' or similar to remove this header.
This probably makes this output *easier* to consume correctly. Having
this header show up in consumers' terminal or log output is probably not
useful, but hiding it without hiding all error messages would have been
more troublesome that just stripping it from stdout.
I.e., previously, unsophisticated use would show undesired output:
$ some-other-tool
This attribute set contains:
This attribute set contains:
This attribute set contains:
This attribute set contains:
<Actual some-other-tool output>
The simplest way to hide this undesired output would have been
nixos-option ... 2>/dev/null, which would hide all error messages.
We do not wish to encourage that.
Correct use would have been something like:
nixos-option ... 2> >( grep --line-buffered -v 'This attribute set contains:')
After this change, correct use is simpler:
nixos-option ... | sed 1d
or
nixos-option ... | sed '1/This attribute set contains:/d'
if the caller don't know if this invocation of nixos-option will yield
an attribute listing or an option description.
Switch from convention "appease clang-tidy --checks='*'" to
"References are like non-nullptr pointers". The clang-tidy check
"google-runtime-references" complains about non-const reference
arguments, but this is not a convention used in Nix.

I don't think this matters. As long as one or the other of these is
a std::string, I get an operator== that looks at content rather than
pointer equality. I picked casting the constant over casting the dynamic
thing in hopes that the compiler would have a better chance at optimizing
away any runtime cost.
Deferring to reviewer.
This is important because this contains some code copied from nix (as an
interim expediency until that functionality can be exported via nix's
API). The license specified here must be compatible with this borrowing.
Select the same license that nix is released under: lgpl2Plus.
Specifically, with
clang-format --style='{ IndentWidth: 4, BreakBeforeBraces: Mozilla, ColumnLimit: 120, PointerAlignment: Middle }'
which was the clang-format invocation that produced the fewest diffs on
the nix source out of ~20 that I tried.
Also add --all, which shows the value of all options. Diffing the --all
output on either side of contemplated changes is a lovely way to better
understand what's going on inside nixos.
