7bd9898d5c nix run: Allow program name to be set in meta.mainProgram
This is useful when the program name doesn't match the package name
(e.g. ripgrep vs rg).

Fixes #4498.

26cf0c674f nix run: Use packages/legacyPackages as fallback if there is no app definition
'nix run' will try to run $out/bin/<name>, where <name> is the
derivation name (excluding the version). This often works well:

  $ nix run nixpkgs#hello
  Hello, world!

  $ nix run nix -- --version
  nix (Nix) 2.4pre20200626_adf2fbb

  $ nix run patchelf -- --version
  patchelf 0.11.20200623.e61654b

  $ nix run nixpkgs#firefox -- --version
  Mozilla Firefox 77.0.1

  $ nix run nixpkgs#gimp -- --version
  GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.10.14

though not always:

  $ nix run nixpkgs#git
  error: unable to execute '/nix/store/kp7wp760l4gryq9s36x481b2x4rfklcy-git-2.25.4/bin/git-minimal': No such file or directory
