When debugging nix expressions the outermost trace tends to be more useful
than the innermost. It is therefore printed last to save developers from
scrolling.
The new experimental feature 'cgroups' enables the use of cgroups for
all builds. This allows better containment and enables setting
resource limits and getting some build stats.
- call close explicitly in writeFile to prevent the close exception
from being ignored
- fsync after writing schema file to flush data to disk
- fsync schema file parent to flush metadata to disk

This was caused by -L calling setLogFormat() again, which caused the
creation of a new progress bar without destroying the old one. So we
had two progress bars clobbering each other.
We should change 'logger' to be a smart pointer, but I'll do that in a
future PR.
Fixes#6931.
Rather than directly copying the source to its dest, copy it first to a
temporary location, and eventually move that temporary.
That way, the move is at least atomic from the point-of-view of the destination
The recursive copy from the stl doesn’t exactly do what we need because
1. It doesn’t delete things as we go
2. It doesn’t keep the mtime, which change the nars
So re-implement it ourselves. A bit dull, but that way we have what we want
In `nix::rename`, if the call to `rename` fails with `EXDEV` (failure
because the source and the destination are in a different filesystems)
switch to copying and removing the source.
To avoid having to re-implement the copy manually, I switched the
function to use the c++17 `filesystem` library (which has a `copy`
function that should do what we want).
Fix#6262
Defers completion of flake inputs until the whole command line is parsed
so that we know what flakes we need to complete the inputs of.
Previously, `nix build flake --update-input <Tab>` always behaved like
`nix build . --update-input <Tab>`.
Useful because a default `sudo` on darwin doesn't clear `$HOME`, so things like `sudo nix-channel --list`
will surprisingly return the USER'S channels, rather than `root`'s.
