Add experimental-features setting
Experimental features are now opt-in. There is currently one experimental feature: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix" command. This will allow us to merge experimental features more quickly, without committing to supporting them indefinitely. Typical usage: $ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello (cherry picked from commit 8e478c234100cf03ea1b777d4bd42a9be7be9e8c, without the "flakes" feature)
