2022-05-19fetchTree: Allow fetching plain filesTony Olagbaiye
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over http(s), or from the local file. Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to `tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension), the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that: - {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so `https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and `https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input) - `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with the `file+` part removed) - `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with the `tarball+` part removed) Fix #3785 Co-Authored-By: Tony Olagbaiye <me@fron.io>

2022-04-21fix: builtins.toFile adds path to allowedPathsTom Bereknyei
The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere: ``` assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good" ``` This will still fail on write-only stores.

2022-02-22doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOStoonn
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.
