Rename 1.12 -> 2.0
...
Following discussion with Shea and Graham. It's a big enough change
from the last release. Also, from a semver perspective, 2.0 makes more
sense because we did remove some interfaces (like nix-pull/nix-push).

Add 'nix upgrade-nix' command
...
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a
store path obtained from
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix
which is the same store path that the installer at
https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses.
The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS,
or when installed outside of the Nix store).

Add automatic garbage collection
...
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or
while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>"
specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free
space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete
garbage until "max-free" bytes are available.
Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are
not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a
synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution.
Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage
-d").

Add builtins.string function.
...
The function 'builtins.split' takes a POSIX extended regular expression
and an arbitrary string. It returns a list of non-matching substring
interleaved by lists of matched groups of the regular expression.
```nix
with builtins;
assert split "(a)b" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "c" ];
assert split "([ac])" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "b" [ "c" ] "" ];
assert split "(a)|(c)" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" null ] "b" [ null "c" ] "" ];
assert split "([[:upper:]]+)" " FOO "
== [ " " [ "FOO" ] " " ];
