523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

5b8c1deb18 fetchTree: Allow fetching plain files 
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)

```

This will still fail on write-only stores.

nix repl: make symlinks with the :bl command 
Requested by ppepino on the Matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/!KqkRjyTEzAGRiZFBYT:nixos.org/$Tb32BS3rVE2BSULAX4sPm0h6CDewX2hClOTGzTC7gwM?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev

This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates
a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs.

ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> ./outputs/out/bin/nix repl
Welcome to Nix 2.6.0. Type :? for help.

00c993f48b add zipAttrsWith primop 
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is
used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the
most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves
the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute
multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less
values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general.

nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but
this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new
primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.

Fix docker command 
`docker -ti run nixos` does not run on docker version 20.10.7 (my machine).  This fixes it to read `docker run -ti nixos`.

90700736c7 Introduce builtins.groupBy primop 
This function is very useful in nixpkgs, but its implementation in Nix
itself is rather slow due to it requiring a lot of attribute set and
list appends.

docs: Correct fallback user config path 
This is in line with XDG Base Directory Specification, where ~/.config is supposed to be used when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset.

It also better matches the reality, where ~/.config/nix.conf does not seem to be used.
