If a package's attribute path, description or name contains matches for any of the
regexes specified via `-e` or `--exclude` that package is excluded from
the final output.
Currently nix-build prints the "printMissing" information by default,
nix build doesn’t.
People generally don‘t notice this because the standard log-format of
nix build would not display the printMissing
output long enough to perceive the information.

The security.csm ACL is, as far as I know, never reasonable to remove, so let's add it to the ignore-list in the vanilla nix image. This makes this image usable on GKE.
Relative 'path:' flake inputs now use the containing flake's
InputAccessor. This has the following implications:
* They're no longer locked in the lock file.
* They don't cause an additional copy to the store.
* They can reference the containing directory (i.e. a subflake can
have an input '../foo', so long as it doesn't go outside the
top-level containing flake).
Note: this is not a complete fix for subflake handling, since the lock
file currently makes it ambiguous what the containing flake is. We'll
probably need to add another field to the lock file for that.
Fixes#6352.
User on Matrix reported install problems which presented as
"vifs:editing error" which we traced back to vim griping about an
existing swap file. When opened interactively, it did this:

Instead, a command should specify that it should be impure by
default. Then, `evalSettings.pureEval` will be set to `false;` unless
it's overridden by e.g. a CLI flag.
In that case it's IMHO OK to be (theoretically) able to override
`pure-eval` via `nix.conf` because it doesn't have an effect on commands
where `forceImpureByDefault` returns `false` (i.e. everything where pure
eval actually matters).
Closes#5867
