Since c4c3c15c19bc448a4797e5d9577539cc14890618 (#4251) building Nix for
macOS with sandboxing fails:
```
getting status of /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs: Operation not permitted
```
This happens, because `EvalSettings::getDefaultNixPath` tries to access
paths outside the sandbox. Since the state-dir is not required for
doc generation, it is set to the dummy folder. This needs to be done
for all nix invocations during doc generation, as
`EvalSettings::getDefaultNixPath` is called unconditionally.

Everywhere else a $ is used

Nix shell doc

Use "run" to avoid confusion with Nix evaluation.
"evaluated" was intended to reference bash eval but it's ambiguous.
|
|
This removes the extra-substituters and extra-sandbox-paths settings
and instead makes every array setting extensible by setting
"extra-<name> = <value>" in the configuration file or passing
"--<name> <value>" on the command line.
|
|
|
|
This was accidentally documented as NIX_OPTIONS.
|
|
Add NIX_CONFIG env var for applying nix.conf overrides
|
|
This was probably revived in a bad merge.

Closes #4096.

* By default, build artifacts should be installed into `outputs/` rather
than `inst/`[1].
* Add instructions on how to run unit-tests.

pkgs.fetchurl supports an executable argument, which is especially nice
when downloading a large executable. This patch adds the same option to
nix-prefetch-url.
I have tested this to work on the simple case of prefetching a little
executable:
1. nix-prefetch-url --executable https://my/little/script
2. Paste the hash into a pkgs.fetchurl-based package, script-pkg.nix
3. Delete the output from the store to avoid any misidentified artifacts
4. Realise the package script-pkg.nix
5. Run the executable
I repeated the above while using --name, as well.
I suspect --executable would have no meaningful effect if combined with
--unpack, but I have not tried it.

All GC roots are now indirect.
|

Otherwise, the steps advertised in this document won't actually work
(e.g. `make install` will fail, trying to access /usr, and
`./inst/bin/nix` won't exist).

This makes them available to 'nix repl'.

This means we don't have two (divergent) sets of option descriptions
anymore.
|
|
The default CSS puts almost no space between sections, but a lot of
space between subsections. This flips that around.

Some users have their own hashed-mirrors setup, that is used to mirror
things in addition to what’s available on tarballs.nixos.org. Although
this should be feasable to do with a Binary Cache, it’s not always
easy, since you have to remember what "name" each of the tarballs has.
Continuing to support hashed-mirrors is cheap, so it’s best to leave
support in Nix. Note that NIX_HASHED_MIRRORS is also supported in
Nixpkgs through fetchurl.nix.
Note that this excludes tarballs.nixos.org from the default, as in
\#3689. All of these are available on cache.nixos.org.

The new error-format is pretty nice from a UX point-of-view, however
it's fairly hard to parse the output e.g. for editor plugins such as
vim-ale[1] that use `nix-instantiate --parse` to determine syntax errors in
Nix expression files.
This patch extends the `internal-json` logger by adding the fields
`line`, `column` and `file` to easily locate an error in a file and the
field `raw_msg` which contains the error-message itself without
code-lines and additional helpers.
An exemplary output may look like this:
```
[nix-shell]$ ./inst/bin/nix-instantiate ~/test.nix --log-format minimal
{"action":"msg","column":1,"file":"/home/ma27/test.nix","level":0,"line":4,"raw_msg":"syntax error, unexpected IF, expecting $end","msg":"<full error-msg with code-lines etc>"}
```
