Eelco Dolstra 30ccf4e52d Turn flake inputs into an attrset
Instead of a list, inputs are now an attrset like

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.uri = github:NixOS/nixpkgs;
  };

If 'uri' is omitted, than the flake is a lookup in the flake registry, e.g.

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs = {};
  };

but in that case, you can also just omit the input altogether and
specify it as an argument to the 'outputs' function, as in

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: ...

This also gets rid of 'nonFlakeInputs', which are now just a special
kind of input that have a 'flake = false' attribute, e.g.

  inputs = {
    someRepo = {
      uri = github:example/repo;
      flake = false;
    };
  };

Fix 32-bit overflow with --no-net
--no-net causes tarballTtl to be set to the largest 32-bit integer,
which causes comparison like 'time + tarballTtl < other_time' to
fail on 32-bit systems. So cast them to 64-bit first.

CachedDownloadResult: Include store path
Also, make fetchGit and fetchMercurial update allowedPaths properly.

(Maybe the evaluator, rather than the caller of the evaluator, should
apply toRealPath(), but that's a bigger change.)

Eelco Dolstra 6dbd5c26e6
Make flake input fetching lazy
As long as the flake input is locked, it is now only fetched when it
is evaluated (e.g. "nixpkgs" is fetched when
"inputs.nixpkgs.<something>" is evaluated).

This required adding an "id" attribute to the members of "inputs" in
lockfiles, e.g.

  "inputs": {
    "nixpkgs/release-19.03": {
      "id": "nixpkgs",
      "inputs": {},
      "narHash": "sha256-eYtxncIMFVmOHaHBtTdPGcs/AnJqKqA6tHCm0UmPYQU=",
      "nonFlakeInputs": {},
      "uri": "github:edolstra/nixpkgs/e9d5882bb861dc48f8d46960e7c820efdbe8f9c1"
    }
  }

because the flake ID needs to be known beforehand to construct the
"inputs" attrset.

Fixes #2913.

Add date of last commit to SourceInfo
This is primarily useful for version string generation, where we need

to use, but isn't available for GitHub flakes (since it requires
fetching the entire history). The last commit timestamp OTOH can be
extracted from GitHub tarballs.

Eelco Dolstra 90fe1dfd2f Register flake source trees as GC roots
This ensures that flakes don't get garbage-collected, which is
important to get nix-channel-like behaviour.

For example, running

  $ nix build hydra:

will create a GC root

  ~/.cache/nix/flake-closures/hydra -> /nix/store/xarfiqcwa4w8r4qpz1a769xxs8c3phgn-flake-closure

where the contents/references of the linked file in the store are the
flake source trees used by the 'hydra' flake:

  /nix/store/n6d5f5lkpfjbmkyby0nlg8y1wbkmbc7i-source
  /nix/store/vbkg4zy1qd29fnhflsv9k2j9jnbqd5m2-source
  /nix/store/z46xni7d47s5wk694359mq9ay353ar94-source

Note that this in itself is not enough to allow offline use; the
fetcher for the flakeref (e.g. fetchGit or downloadCached) must not
fail if it cannot fetch the latest version of the file, so long as it
knows a cached version.

Issue #2868.

Eelco Dolstra c996e04aca Allow relative paths in flakerefs
Also allow "." as an installable to refer to the flake in the current
directory. E.g.

  $ nix build .

will build 'provides.defaultPackage' in the flake in the current
directory.

Eelco Dolstra 6a4c7fb975 Add path flakeref variant
Unlike file://<path>, this allows the path to be a dirty Git tree, so

  nix build /path/to/flake:attr

is a convenient way to test building a local flake.

Eelco Dolstra 154244adc6 nix: New installables syntax
The general syntax for an installable is now
<flakeref>:<attrpath>. The attrpath is relative to the flake's
'provides.packages' or 'provides' if the former doesn't yield a
result. E.g.

  $ nix build nixpkgs:hello

is equivalent to

  $ nix build nixpkgs:packages.hello

Also, '<flakeref>:' can be omitted, in which case it defaults to
'nixpkgs', e.g.

  $ nix build hello

nix: Add --flake flag
This allows using an arbitrary "provides" attribute from the specified
flake. For example:

  nix build --flake nixpkgs packages.hello

(Maybe provides.packages should be used for consistency...)

Enforce use of immutable flakes in pure mode

nix: Enable pure mode by default
We want to encourage a brave new world of hermetic evaluation for
source-level reproducibility, so flakes should not poke around in the
filesystem outside of their explicit dependencies.

Note that the default installation source remains impure in that it
can refer to mutable flakes, so "nix build nixpkgs.hello" still works
(and fetches the latest nixpkgs, unless it has been pinned by the
user).

A problem with pure evaluation is that builtins.currentSystem is
unavailable. For the moment, I've hard-coded "x86_64-linux" in the
nixpkgs flake. Eventually, "system" should be a flake function
argument.

Add github URIs
For example, github:edolstra/dwarffs is more-or-less equivalent to
https://github.com/edolstra/dwarffs.git. It's a much faster way to get
GitHub repositories: it fetches tarballs rather than entire Git
repositories. It also allows fetching specific revisions by hash
without specifying a ref (e.g. a branch name):

This can be very helpful when debugging, as well as enabling complex
black magic like surgically removing a single dependency from a

fetchGit: allow fetching explicit refs
Trying to fetch refs that are not in refs/heads currently fails because
it looks for refs/heads/refs/foo instead of refs/foo.

eg.

	builtins.fetchGit {
	  url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git;
	  ref = "refs/pull/1024/head;
	}
