Remove nix-build --hash
Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output
hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path
corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus,
after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl
call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again.

It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash
of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but
"nix-build --hash" didn't do that.

Rename 1.12 -> 2.0
Following discussion with Shea and Graham. It's a big enough change
from the last release. Also, from a semver perspective, 2.0 makes more
sense because we did remove some interfaces (like nix-pull/nix-push).

Add 'nix upgrade-nix' command
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a
store path obtained from

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix

which is the same store path that the installer at
https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses.

The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS,
or when installed outside of the Nix store).

Remove git:// support in NIX_PATH
This didn't support specifying a revision/branch, and was restricted
to git:// URIs (since https:// or ssh:// would be ambiguous).

fetchurl/fetchTarball are *not* allowed in restricted mode
Accidentally committed this change as part of
f9686885be.

Restricted mode != pure mode.

fetchgit -> fetchGit
Almost all other primops are camelCase so no reason not to use that
here.

Add automatic garbage collection
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or
while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>"
specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free
space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete
garbage until "max-free" bytes are available.

Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are
not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a
synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution.

Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage
-d").

Move note about float support out of the wrong release notes
Looks like this snuck into the 1.11 release notes post-release, but
float support isn't actually present until 1.12.

Fix 1.8 release note about build-max-jobs
We set build-cores automatically, not build-max-jobs. (The commit
message for de4cdd0d47 also got this
wrong.)

Vladimír Čunát b39622a487 rename chroot to sandbox (fixes , close )
- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases,
  also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning
- update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented),
  including a new file with release notes
- tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs
- __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)
