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

fetchGit/fetchMercurial: Don't absolutize paths
This is already done by coerceToString(), provided that the argument
is a path (e.g. 'fetchGit ./bla'). It fixes the handling of URLs like
git@github.com:owner/repo.git. It breaks 'fetchGit "./bla"', but that
was never intended to work anyway and is inconsistent with other
builtin functions (e.g. 'readFile "./bla"' fails).

printSize() fixes
Fix a 32-bit overflow that resulted in negative numbers being printed;
use fmt() instead of boost::format(); change -H to -h for consistency
with 'ls' and 'du'; make the columns narrower (since they can't be
bigger than 1024.0).

Benjamin Hipple c908df881f
Avoid overflow and use boost::format
If the user has an object greater than 1024 yottabytes, it'll just display it as
N yottabytes instead of overflowing.

Swaps to use boost::format strings instead of std::setw and std::setprecision.

libexpr: Use int64_t for NixInt
Using a 64bit integer on 32bit systems will come with a bit of a
performance overhead, but given that Nix doesn't use a lot of integers
compared to other types, I think the overhead is negligible also
considering that 32bit systems are in decline.

The biggest advantage however is that when we use a consistent integer
size across all platforms it's less likely that we miss things that we
break due to that. One example would be:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/44233

On Hydra it will evaluate, because the evaluator runs on a 64bit
machine, but when evaluating the same on a 32bit machine it will fail,
so using 64bit integers should make that consistent.

While the change of the type in value.hh is rather easy to do, we have a
few more options available for doing the conversion in the lexer:

  * Via an #ifdef on the architecture and using strtol() or strtoll()
    accordingly depending on which architecture we are. For the #ifdef
    we would need another AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF in configure.ac.
  * Using istringstream, which would involve copying the value.
  * As we're already using boost, lexical_cast might be a good idea.

Spoiler: I went for the latter, first of all because lexical_cast does
have an overload for const char* and second of all, because it doesn't
involve copying around the input string. Also, because istringstream
seems to come with a bigger overhead than boost::lexical_cast:

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/doc/html/boost_lexical_cast/performance.html

The first method (still using strtol/strtoll) also wasn't something I
pursued further, because it is also locale-aware which I doubt is what
we want, given that the regex for int is [0-9]+.

upgrade-nix: resolve profile symlinks
The profile present in PATH is not necessarily the actual profile
location. User profiles are generally added as $HOME/.nix-profile
in which case the indirect profile link needs to be resolved first.

/home/user/.nix-profile -> /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile -> profile-15-link
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-14-link -> /nix/store/hyi4kkjh3bwi2z3wfljrkfymz9904h62-user-environment
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-15-link -> /nix/store/6njpl3qvihz46vj911pwx7hfcvwhifl9-user-environment

To upgrade nix here we want /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-16-link
instead of /home/user/.nix-profile-1-link. The latter is not a gcroot
and would be garbage collected, resulting in a broken profile.

Fixes #2175
