Modularize config settings
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.

8f186722a9 Set backup MANPATH in case man path isn’t set correctly.
Previously, this would fail at startup for non-NixOS installs:

nix-env --help

The fix for this is to just use "nixManDir" as the value for MANPATH
when spawning "man".

To test this, I’m using the following:

$ nix-build release.nix -A build
$ MANPATH= ./result/bin/nix-env --help

Fixes #1627

c9857ef262 src/libmain/stack.cc: fix 'ucontext' usage on glibc-2.26
Build fails as:

$ make
  CXX    src/libmain/stack.o
src/libmain/stack.cc: In function 'void nix::sigsegvHandler(int, siginfo_t*, void*)':
src/libmain/stack.cc:21:21: error: 'ucontext' was not declared in this scope
     sp = (char *) ((ucontext *) ctx)->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RSP];
                     ^~~~~~~~
src/libmain/stack.cc:21:21: note: suggested alternative: 'ucontext_t'
     sp = (char *) ((ucontext *) ctx)->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_RSP];
                     ^~~~~~~~
                     ucontext_t

It's caused by upstream rename:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=251287734e89a52da3db682a8241eb6bccc050c9

which basically changes
    typedef struct ucontext {} ucontext_t;
to
    typedef struct ucontext_t {} ucontext_t;

The change uses ucontext_t.

Support auto-configuration of build-max-jobs
"build-max-jobs" and the "-j" option can now be set to "auto" to use
the number of CPUs in the system. (Unlike build-cores, it doesn't use
0 to imply auto-configuration, because a) magic values are a bad idea
in general; b) 0 is a legitimate value used to disable local
building.)

2cd468874f Include config.h implicitly with '-include config.h' in CFLAGS
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.

E.g.:

Kill builds when we get EOF on the log FD

Now, on EOF, we just send SIGKILL to the child to make sure it's

c10c61449f Eliminate the "store" global variable
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation.

Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a
wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never
null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a
"T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the
caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not
always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via
std::bind.)

64e23d0a38 Add download-via-ssh substituter
This substituter connects to a remote host, runs nix-store --serve
there, and then forwards substituter commands on to the remote host and
sends their results to the calling program. The ssh-substituter-hosts
option can be specified as a list of hosts to try.

This is an initial implementation and, while it works, it has some
limitations:

* Only the first host is used
* There is no caching of query results (all queries are sent to the
  remote machine)
* There is no informative output (such as progress bars)
* Some failure modes may cause unhelpful error messages
* There is no concept of trusted-ssh-substituter-hosts

70e68e0ec6 Detect stack overflows
Previously, if the Nix evaluator gets a stack overflow due to a deep
or infinite recursion in the Nix expression, the user gets an
unhelpful message ("Segmentation fault") that doesn't indicate that
the problem is in the user's code rather than Nix itself.  Now it
prints:

  error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)

This only works on x86_64-linux and i686-linux.

Fixes #35.

9de6bc5d05 nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be
quietly ignored.  This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to
speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all
substitutable paths, instead of uploading them.  The latter is
frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet
connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.

8b7f8b56f1 Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build expressions.
This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the
command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of
CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing
an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which
means that parallel building is *disabled*. If the number of build cores
is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual
value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by
calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils.

The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but
the contents of that variable does *not* influence the hash that goes
into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized
can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.

9e975458b4 * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
  (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly.  This means that
  it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
  nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
  (NIX-95).  Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
  manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
  each other.

  The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
  program to get the substitutes info.  For instance, "nix-env -qas"
  takes a bit longer.

  Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
  local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
  paths.  On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
  on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).

  infinity (0).

* Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the
  child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be
  killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait().  So also send a
  conventional kill to the child.
