Eelco Dolstra ff4dea63c9 Generalize extra-* settings
This removes the extra-substituters and extra-sandbox-paths settings
and instead makes every array setting extensible by setting
"extra-<name> = <value>" in the configuration file or passing
"--<name> <value>" on the command line.

This options specifies the Unix group containing the Nix build user

performed by the Nix account since that would allow users to
arbitrarily modify the Nix store and database by supplying specially
crafted builders; and they cannot be performed by the calling user
since that would allow him/her to influence the build result.
Therefore, if this option is non-empty and specifies a valid group,
builds will be performed under the user accounts that are a member
of the group specified here (as listed in `/etc/group`). Those user
accounts should not be used for any other purpose\!
Nix will never run two builds under the same user account at the
same time. This is to prevent an obvious security hole: a malicious
user writing a Nix expression that modifies the build result of a
legitimate Nix expression being built by another user. Therefore it
is good to have as many Nix build user accounts as you can spare.
(Remember: uids are cheap.)
The build users should have permission to create files in the Nix
store, but not delete them. Therefore, `/nix/store` should be owned
by the Nix account, its group should be the group specified here,
and its mode should be `1775`.
If the build users group is empty, builds will be performed under
the uid of the Nix process (that is, the uid of the caller if
`NIX_REMOTE` is empty, the uid under which the Nix daemon runs if
`NIX_REMOTE` is `daemon`). Obviously, this should not be used in
multi-user settings with untrusted users.

this, false, "allow-new-privileges",
R"(
(Linux-specific.) By default, builders on Linux cannot acquire new
privileges by calling setuid/setgid programs or programs that have
file capabilities. For example, programs such as `sudo` or `ping`
will fail. (Note that in sandbox builds, no such programs are
available unless you bind-mount them into the sandbox via the
`sandbox-paths` option.) You can allow the use of such programs by
enabling this option. This is impure and usually undesirable, but
may be useful in certain scenarios (e.g. to spin up containers or
set up userspace network interfaces in tests).

Setting<Strings> hashedMirrors{
this, {}, "hashed-mirrors",
R"(
A list of web servers used by `builtins.fetchurl` to obtain files by
hash. The default is `http://tarballs.nixos.org/`. Given a hash type
*ht* and a base-16 hash *h*, Nix will try to download the file from
*hashed-mirror*/*ht*/*h*. This allows files to be downloaded even if
they have disappeared from their original URI. For example, given
the default mirror `http://tarballs.nixos.org/`, when building the
derivation
```nix
builtins.fetchurl {
url = "https://example.org/foo-1.2.3.tar.xz";
sha256 = "2c26b46b68ffc68ff99b453c1d30413413422d706483bfa0f98a5e886266e7ae";
}
```
Nix will attempt to download this file from
`http://tarballs.nixos.org/sha256/2c26b46b68ffc68ff99b453c1d30413413422d706483bfa0f98a5e886266e7ae`
first. If it is not available there, if will try the original URI.

Setting<uint64_t> minFree{

When free disk space in `/nix/store` drops below `min-free` during a
build, Nix performs a garbage-collection until `max-free` bytes are
available or there is no more garbage. A value of `0` (the default)
disables this feature.

When a garbage collection is triggered by the `min-free` option, it

infinity (i.e. delete all garbage).

Setting<uint64_t> minFreeCheckInterval{this, 5, "min-free-check-interval",
"Number of seconds between checking free disk space."};
Setting<Paths> pluginFiles{
this, {}, "plugin-files",
R"(
A list of plugin files to be loaded by Nix. Each of these files will
be dlopened by Nix, allowing them to affect execution through static
initialization. In particular, these plugins may construct static
instances of RegisterPrimOp to add new primops or constants to the
expression language, RegisterStoreImplementation to add new store
implementations, RegisterCommand to add new subcommands to the `nix`
command, and RegisterSetting to add new nix config settings. See the
constructors for those types for more details.
Since these files are loaded into the same address space as Nix
itself, they must be DSOs compatible with the instance of Nix
running at the time (i.e. compiled against the same headers, not
linked to any incompatible libraries). They should not be linked to
any Nix libs directly, as those will be available already at load
time.
If an entry in the list is a directory, all files in the directory
are loaded as plugins (non-recursively).

Setting<StringMap> accessTokens{this, {}, "access-tokens",
R"(
Access tokens used to access protected GitHub, GitLab, or
other locations requiring token-based authentication.
Access tokens are specified as a string made up of
space-separated `host=token` values. The specific token
used is selected by matching the `host` portion against the
"host" specification of the input. The actual use of the
`token` value is determined by the type of resource being
accessed:
* Github: the token value is the OAUTH-TOKEN string obtained
as the Personal Access Token from the Github server (see
https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/authorizing-oath-apps).
* Gitlab: the token value is either the OAuth2 token or the
Personal Access Token (these are different types tokens
for gitlab, see
https://docs.gitlab.com/12.10/ee/api/README.html#authentication).
The `token` value should be `type:tokenstring` where
`type` is either `OAuth2` or `PAT` to indicate which type
of token is being specified.
Example `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`:
```
access-tokens = "github.com=23ac...b289 gitlab.mycompany.com=PAT:A123Bp_Cd..EfG gitlab.com=OAuth2:1jklw3jk"
```
Example `~/code/flake.nix`:
```nix
input.foo = {
type = "gitlab";
host = "gitlab.mycompany.com";
owner = "mycompany";
repo = "pro";
};
```
This example specifies three tokens, one each for accessing
github.com, gitlab.mycompany.com, and sourceforge.net.
The `input.foo` uses the "gitlab" fetcher, which might
requires specifying the token type along with the token
value.

this, false, "allow-symlinked-store",
R"(
If set to `true`, Nix will stop complaining if the store directory
(typically /nix/store) contains symlink components.
This risks making some builds "impure" because builders sometimes
"canonicalise" paths by resolving all symlink components. Problems
occur if those builds are then deployed to machines where /nix/store
resolves to a different location from that of the build machine. You
can enable this setting if you are sure you're not going to do that.
