1f3c3a3785 Make the flake options work when using the daemon
When setting flake-local options (with the `nixConfig` field), forward
these options to the daemon in case we’re using one.

This is necessary in particular for options like `binary-caches` or
`post-build-hook` to make sense.

1a4c9ba50b Fix nix repl’s building of CA derivations
When running a `:b` command in the repl, after building the derivations
query the store for its outputs rather than just assuming that they are

c05bdef020 Forward the whole Nix config to the repl subprocesses
Fill `NIX_CONFIG` with the value of the current Nix configuration before
calling the nix subprocesses in the repl
That way the whole configuration (including the possible
`experimental-features`, a possibly `--store` option or whatever) will
be made available.

This is required for example to make `nix repl` work with a custom
`--store`

5985b8b527 Check the CA hash when importing stuff in the local store
When adding a path to the local store (via `LocalStore::addToStore`),
ensure that the `ca` field of the provided `ValidPathInfo` does indeed
correspond to the content of the path.
Otherwise any untrusted user (or any binary cache) can add arbitrary
content-addressed paths to the store (as content-addressed paths don’t
need a signature).

5716345adf Add a test ensuring compatibility with an old daemon
This requires adding `nix` to its own closure which is a bit unfortunate,
but as it is optional (the test will be disabled if `OUTER_NIX` is unset) it
shouldn't be too much of an issue.

(Ideally this should go in another derivation so that we can build Nix and run
the test independently, but as the tests are running in the same derivation
as the build it's a bit complicated to do so).

 - Commented out in 07975979aa, which I
   believe only reached master by mistake.

 - Deleted in c32168c9bc, when
   `tests/build-hook-ca.nix` was reused for a new test.

2de232d2b3 Add x86_64 compute levels as additional system types
When performing distributed builds of machine learning packages, it
would be nice if builders without the required SIMD instructions can
be excluded as build nodes.

Since x86_64 has accumulated a large number of different instruction
set extensions, listing all possible extensions would be unwieldy.
AMD, Intel, Red Hat, and SUSE have recently defined four different
microarchitecture levels that are now part of the x86-64 psABI
supplement and will be used in glibc 2.33:

https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI
https://lwn.net/Articles/844831/

This change uses libcpuid to detect CPU features and then uses them to
add the supported x86_64 levels to the additional system types. For
example on a Ryzen 3700X:

$ ~/aps/bin/nix -vv --version | grep "Additional system"
Additional system types: i686-linux, x86_64-v1-linux, x86_64-v2-linux, x86_64-v3-linux

77007d4eab Improve ref validity checking in fetchGit
The previous regex was too strict and did not match what git was allowing. It
could lead to `fetchGit` not accepting valid branch names, even though they
exist in a repository (for example, branch names containing `/`, which are
pretty standard, like `release/1.0` branches).

The new regex defines what a branch name should **NOT** contain. It takes the
definitions from `refs.c` in https://github.com/git/git and `git help
check-ref-format` pages.

This change also introduces a test for ref name validity checking, which
compares the result from Nix with the result of `git check-ref-format --branch`.

Add a post-build-hook
Passing `--post-build-hook /foo/bar` to a nix-* command will cause
`/foo/bar` to be executed after each build with the following
environment variables set:

    DRV_PATH=/nix/store/drv-that-has-been-built.drv
    OUT_PATHS=/nix/store/...build /nix/store/...build-bin /nix/store/...build-dev

This can be useful in particular to upload all the builded artifacts to
the cache (including the ones that don't appear in the runtime closure
of the final derivation or are built because of IFD).

This new feature prints the stderr/stdout output to the `nix-build`
and `nix build` client, and the output is printed in a Nix 2
compatible format:

    [nix]$ ./inst/bin/nix-build ./test.nix
    these derivations will be built:

Add pure evaluation mode
In this mode, the following restrictions apply:

* The builtins currentTime, currentSystem and storePath throw an
  error.

* $NIX_PATH and -I are ignored.

* fetchGit and fetchMercurial require a revision hash.

* fetchurl and fetchTarball require a sha256 attribute.

* No file system access is allowed outside of the paths returned by
  fetch{Git,Mercurial,url,Tarball}. Thus 'nix build -f ./foo.nix' is
  not allowed.

Thus, the evaluation result is completely reproducible from the
command line arguments. E.g.

  nix build --pure-eval '(
    let
      nix = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; rev = "9c927de4b179a6dd210dd88d34bda8af4b575680"; };
      nixpkgs = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-17.09"; rev = "66b4de79e3841530e6d9c6baf98702aa1f7124e4"; };
    in (import (nix + "/release.nix") { inherit nix nixpkgs; }).build.x86_64-linux
  )'

The goal is to enable completely reproducible and traceable
evaluation. For example, a NixOS configuration could be fully
described by a single Git commit hash. 'nixos-rebuild' would do
something like

  nix build --pure-eval '(
    (import (fetchGit { url = file:///my-nixos-config; rev = "..."; })).system
  ')

where the Git repository /my-nixos-config would use further fetchGit
calls or Git externals to fetch Nixpkgs and whatever other
dependencies it has. Either way, the commit hash would uniquely
identify the NixOS configuration and allow it to reproduced.

9dd2b8ac7b use libbrotli directly when available
* Look for both 'brotli' and 'bro' as external command,
  since upstream has renamed it in newer versions.
  If neither are found, current runtime behavior
  is preserved: try to find 'bro' on PATH.
* Limit amount handed to BrotliEncoderCompressStream
  to ensure interrupts are processed in a timely manner.
  Testing shows negligible performance impact.
  (Other compression sinks don't seem to require this)

22d6e31fc6 Add a mechanism for derivation attributes to reference the derivation's outputs
For example, you can now say:

  configureFlags = "--prefix=${placeholder "out"} --includedir=${placeholder "dev"}";

The strings returned by the ‘placeholder’ builtin are replaced at
build time by the actual store paths corresponding to the specified
outputs.

Previously, you had to work around the inability to self-reference by doing stuff like:

  preConfigure = ''
    configureFlags+=" --prefix $out --includedir=$dev"
  '';

or rely on ad-hoc variable interpolation semantics in Autoconf or Make
(e.g. --prefix=\$(out)), which doesn't always work.
