Otherwise https://cache.nixos.org is chosen by default, causing the OSX
testsuite to hang inside the sandbox.
(In a way, this is probably rugging an actual bug under the carpet as
Nix should be able to gracefully timeout in such a case, but that's
beyond mac OSX-fu)

This reduces the amount of disk space needed to run the tests from
half a gigabyte to 10 megabytes.

This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea59049f861aaba429f48b828d0820b74d1d).

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)

In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are
pointless. So now you can say
nix build --no-sandbox
instead of
nix build --no-build-use-sandbox

This variable has no reason to exist, given $NIX_STATE_DIR.

These actually run as root in a VM, so they get confused.

Ensuring that the tests work from the build tree requires a growing
number of nasty hacks. The tests also don't verify that the installed
Nix actually works. Thus, the tests now require "make install" to
have been run.

Nix now requires SQLite and bzip2 to be pre-installed. SQLite is
detected using pkg-config. We required DBD::SQLite anyway, so
depending on SQLite is not a big problem.
The --with-bzip2, --with-openssl and --with-sqlite flags are gone.

other simplifications.
* Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be
overriden through $NIX_PATH.
* Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need
to create a temporary file.

resulting in everything being built from source. Thanks to Juan

most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2,
which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.

roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots
while holding a write lock on that file. The garbage collector
acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further
progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary
roots.
