af99941279 Make experimental-features a proper type
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.

This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
  (making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
  experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
  enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
  of it.

1765711b68 tests/config: Fix config test configuration
First, "XDG_CONFIG_HOME" shouldn't be named "home", as it may be
confusing compared with `$HOME`, which an upcoming test will be using.

Then, using a fixed location for the test is problematic. Use
`$TEST_ROOT` instead.

Add NIX_CONFIG env var for applying nix.conf overrides 2020-10-21 13:41:26 +02:00

add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES
Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files.

Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the
implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding
which user files Nix will load during startup.
