Eelco Dolstra 8d4268d190 Improve error formatting
Changes:

* The divider lines are gone. These were in practice a bit confusing,
  in particular with --show-trace or --keep-going, since then there
  were multiple lines, suggesting a start/end which wasn't the case.

* Instead, multi-line error messages are now indented to align with
  the prefix (e.g. "error: ").

* The 'description' field is gone since we weren't really using it.

* 'hint' is renamed to 'msg' since it really wasn't a hint.

* The error is now printed *before* the location info.

* The 'name' field is no longer printed since most of the time it
  wasn't very useful since it was just the name of the exception (like
  EvalError). Ideally in the future this would be a unique, easily
  googleable error ID (like rustc).

* "trace:" is now just "…". This assumes error contexts start with
  something like "while doing X".

Example before:

  error: --- AssertionError ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nix
  at: (7:7) in file: /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix

       6|
       7|   x = assert false; 1;
        |       ^
       8|

  assertion 'false' failed
  ----------------------------------------------------- show-trace -----------------------------------------------------

     192|           name = "${attrs.pname}-${attrs.version}";
        |           ^
     193|         } // (lib.optionalAttrs (stdenv.hostPlatform != stdenv.buildPlatform && !dontAddHostSuffix && (attrs ? name || (attrs ? pname && attrs ? version)))) {

Example after:

Add flake evaluation cache
This exploits the hermetic nature of flake evaluation to speed up
repeated evaluations of a flake output attribute.

For example (doing 'nix build' on an already present package):

  $ time nix build nixpkgs:firefox

  real    0m1.497s
  user    0m1.160s
  sys     0m0.139s

  $ time nix build nixpkgs:firefox

  real    0m0.052s
  user    0m0.038s
  sys     0m0.007s

The cache is ~/.cache/nix/eval-cache-v1.sqlite, which has entries like

  INSERT INTO Attributes VALUES(
    X'92a907d4efe933af2a46959b082cdff176aa5bfeb47a98fabd234809a67ab195',
    'packages.firefox',
    1,
    '/nix/store/pbalzf8x19hckr8cwdv62rd6g0lqgc38-firefox-67.0.drv /nix/store/g6q0gx0v6xvdnizp8lrcw7c4gdkzana0-firefox-67.0 out');

where the hash 92a9... is a fingerprint over the flake store path and
the contents of the lockfile. Because flakes are evaluated in pure
mode, this uniquely identifies the evaluation result.

Use boost::format from the boost package
Note that this only requires headers from boost so it doesn't add a
runtime dependency.

Also, use Nixpkgs 18.03.

In SQLite errors, include the database path
This is necessary because we have multiple SQLite databases (e.g. the
binary cache cache).

really is no need for such a massive change...
