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)
