Merge all nix-* binaries into nix
These are all symlinks to 'nix' now, reducing the installed size by
about ~1.7 MiB.

Matthew Bauer 74f6d8767d Get effective user in Nix commands
‘geteuid’ gives us the user that the command is being run as,
including in setuid modes. By using geteuid to determind id, we can
avoid the ‘sudo -i’ hack when upgrading Nix. So now, upgrading Nix on
macOS is as simple as:

$ sudo nix-channel --update
$ sudo nix-env -u

$ sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon
$ sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon
or
$ sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon

Andrew Dunham 3a918014b2 Fix library ordering in Makefiles
The existing ordering linked `libutil` before `libstore`, which causes
link failures when building statically. This is due to `libstore` using
functions from `libutil`, and the fact that symbol resolution works
"forward" - i.e. if you pass `-lfoo -lbar -lbaz`, any symbols that
`libbar` uses from `libbaz` will be resolved, but symbols from `libfoo`
will not since it comes first in the command line.

All this to say: this commit reorders the libraries which fixes the link
errors.

Add plugins to make Nix more extensible.
All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to
statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix
supports.

Shea Levy 503cc4431b nix-channel: error out if direct tarball unpack fails.
It's very unlikely a path ending in .tar.gz is a directory

Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"
This reverts commit f78126bfd6. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

Eelco Dolstra 90ad02bf62 Enable HTTP/2 support
The binary cache store can now use HTTP/2 to do lookups. This is much
more efficient than HTTP/1.1 due to multiplexing: we can issue many
requests in parallel over a single TCP connection. Thus it's no longer
necessary to use a bunch of concurrent TCP connections (25 by
default).

For example, downloading 802 .narinfo files from
https://cache.nixos.org/, using a single TCP connection, takes 11.8s
with HTTP/1.1, but only 0.61s with HTTP/2.

This did require a fairly substantial rewrite of the Downloader class
to use the curl multi interface, because otherwise curl wouldn't be
able to do multiplexing for us. As a bonus, we get connection reuse
even with HTTP/1.1. All downloads are now handled by a single worker
thread. Clients call Downloader::enqueueDownload() to tell the worker
thread to start the download, getting a std::future to the result.
