Allow global config settings to be defined in multiple Config
classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and
evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes
are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files
etc. are applied.
Relevant to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2009 in that it
removes the need for ad hoc handling of useCaseHack, which was the
underlying cause of that issue.

For instance, this reduced the memory consumption of
$ nix copy --from ssh://localhost --to ~/my-nix /nix/store/1n7x0yv8vq6zi90hfmian84vdhd04bgp-blender-2.79a
from 632 MiB to 16 MiB.

For example, you can write
src = fetchgit ./.;
and if ./. refers to an unclean working tree, that tree will be copied
to the Nix store. This removes the need for "cleanSource".

Because config.h can #define things like _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and not
every compilation unit includes config.h, we currently compile half of
Nix with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and other half with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
unset. This causes major havoc with the Settings class on e.g. 32-bit ARM,
where different compilation units disagree with the struct layout.

That was not a fun one to debug!

This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

Done slightly differently from https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/1093.
|

So now you can do
$ NIX_REMOTE=file:///tmp/binary-cache nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A hello
and lots of other operations.

When running NixOps under Mac OS X, we need to be able to import store
paths built on Linux into the local Nix store. However, HFS+ is
usually case-insensitive, so if there are directories with file names
that differ only in case, then importing will fail.
The solution is to add a suffix ("~nix~case~hack~<integer>") to
colliding files. For instance, if we have a directory containing
xt_CONNMARK.h and xt_connmark.h, then the latter will be renamed to
"xt_connmark.h~nix~case~hack~1". If a store path is dumped as a NAR,
the suffixes are removed. Thus, importing and exporting via a
case-insensitive Nix store is round-tripping. So when NixOps calls
nix-copy-closure to copy the path to a Linux machine, you get the
original file names back.
Closes #119.

Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with
/dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.

_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. Without it, functions like stat() fail on
large file sizes. This happened with a Nix store on squashfs:
$ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null
error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type
$ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds

Size: 0 Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file
(This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix
to fail.)

* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that

from a source directory. All files for which a predicate function
returns true are copied to the store. Typical example is to leave
out the .svn directory:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
src = builtins.filterSource
(path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
./source-dir;
# as opposed to
# src = ./source-dir;
}
This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
a rather unpredictable and variable way.

* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
implementation.

* Optimise header file usage a bit.
* Compile the parser as C++.

Nix. This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged.
Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a
signal handler. In fact, you can't do much of anything except
change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'. So we set an
interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various
strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()).
Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite
loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.

path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and
query commands. For instance,
$ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix
$ nix-env --query --available [aka -qa]
sylpheed-0.9.7
bison-1.875
pango-1.2.5
subversion-0.35.1
...
$ nix-env -i sylpheed
$ nix-env -u subversion
There can be only one default at a time.
* If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink
prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.

* Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory()
function.
