This is important when using tooling like BEAR to generate
compilation database since the used glibc version needs to match
for LD_PRELOAD to work. It might be also beneficial when building
on systems other than NixOS with nix develop since /bin/sh might
be not bash (which is what all nix devs use for testing).
This fix is not perfect because Makefile.config.in itself is
also build with make but strictly better than the status quo.
Currently resizing of the terminal doesn't play nicely with
nix edit when using kakoune as the editor, as it relies on the
SIGWINCH signal which is trapped by nix. How this is not a problem
with e.g. vim is beyond me.
Virtually all other exec* calls are following a call to
restoreSignals(). This commit adds this behavior to nix edit
as well.
That is, the commands 'nix path-info nixpkgs#hello' and 'nix path-info
/nix/store/00ls0qi49qkqpqblmvz5s1ajl3gc63lr-hello-2.10.drv' now do the
same thing (i.e. build the derivation and operate on the output store
path, rather than the .drv path).
This reverts commit a2c27022e9. See
addToStoreSlow(), we don't need to handle this case efficiently
anymore. In fact, we can almost remove the method/hashAlgo arguments
since the non-recursive and/or non-SHA256 are almost not used anymore.
Until now, the `gitlab`-fetcher determined the source's rev by checking
the latest commit of the given `ref` using the
`/repository/branches`-API.
This breaks however when trying to fetch a gitlab-repo by its tag:
```
$ nix repl
nix-repl> builtins.fetchTree gitlab:Ma27/nvim.nix/0.2.0
error: --- Error ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nix
unable to download 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/Ma27%2Fnvim.nix/repository/branches/0.2.0': HTTP error 404 ('')
```
When using the `/commits?ref_name`-endpoint[1] you can pass any kind of
valid ref to the `gitlab`-fetcher.
Please note that this fetches the only first 20 commits on a ref,
unfortunately there's currently no endpoint which only retrieves the
latest commit of any kind of `ref`.

The `m` acts as termination-symbol when declaring graphics. Because
of this, the `;1m` doesn't have any effect and is directly printed to
the console:
```
$ nix repl
> builtins.fetchGit { /* ... */ }
{ outPath = "/nix/store/s0f0iz4a41cxx2h055lmh6p2d5k5bc6r-source"; rev = "e73e45b723a9a6eecb98bd5f3df395d9ab3633b6"; revCount = ;1m428; shortRev = "e73e45b"; submodules = ;1mfalse; }
```
