Running `nix-store --gc --delete` will, as of Nix 2.3.3, simply fail
because the --delete option conflicts with the --delete operation.
$ nix-store --gc --delete
error: only one operation may be specified
Try 'nix-store --help' for more information.
Furthermore, it has been broken since at least Nix 0.16 (which was
released sometime in 2010), which means that any scripts which depend
on it should have been broken at least nine years ago. This commit
simply formally removes the option. There should be no actual difference
in behaviour as far as the user is concerned: it errors with the exact
same error message. The manual has been edited to remove any references
to the (now gone) --delete option.

this reduces time spent in unparse() from 9.15% to 4.31%. The main
culprit was appending characters one at a time to the destination
string. Even though the string has enough capacity, push_back() still
needs to check this on every call.
The problem fixed: each nix-shell invocation creates a new temporary
directory (`/tmp/nix-shell-*`) and never cleans up.
And while I'm here, shellescape all variables inlined into the rcfile.
See what might happen without escaping:
$ export TZ="';echo pwned'"
$ nix-shell -p hello --run hello
pwned
Hello, world!
The ssh client is lazily started by the first worker thread, that
requires a ssh connection. To avoid the ssh client to be killed, when
the worker process is stopped, do not set PR_SET_PDEATHSIG.
Brings the functionality of ssh-ng:// in sync with the legacy ssh://
implementation. Specifying the remote store uri enables various useful
things. eg.
$ nix copy --to ssh-ng://cache?remote-store=file://mnt/cache --all

Includes the expression of the condition in the assertion message if
the assertion failed, making assertions much easier to debug. eg.

As fromTOML supports \u and \U escapes, bring fromJSON on par. As JSON defaults
to UTF-8 encoding (every JSON parser must support UTF-8), this change parses the
`\u hex hex hex hex` sequence (\u followed by 4 hexadecimal digits) into an
UTF-8 representation.
Add a test to verify correct parsing, using all escape sequences from json.org.
