Alexey Shmalko eef754813f Set $MANPATH (#1005)
Currently, man has issues finding man pages for Nix-installed
application (also, `nix-env --help` doesn't work). The issue is caused
by custom `$MANPATH` set by my system. That makes man use it instead of
searching in default location.

Either of next lines workaround the issue:
```sh
unset MANPATH

export MANPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/share/man:$MANPATH
```

This patch adds the later line to the `nix-profile.sh` if user has
`MANPATH` set. (Not clearing `MANPATH` as that would be disrespect of
user's preferences.)

As a side-effect, host's man might find man pages installed by Nix.

Eelco Dolstra 4494000e04 LocalStore: Allow the physical and logical store directories to differ
This is primarily to subsume the functionality of the
copy-from-other-stores substituter. For example, in the NixOS
installer, we can now do (assuming we're in the target chroot, and the
Nix store of the installation CD is bind-mounted on /tmp/nix):

  $ nix-build ... --option substituters 'local?state=/tmp/nix/var&real=/tmp/nix/store'

However, unlike copy-from-other-stores, this also allows write access
to such a store. One application might be fetching substitutes for
/nix/store in a situation where the user doesn't have sufficient
privileges to create /nix, e.g.:

  $ NIX_REMOTE="local?state=/home/alice/nix/var&real=/home/alice/nix/store" nix-build ...

Gabriel Gonzalez 3889415bf8 Fix ?? in Nix warning message
Nix sometimes outputs a warning message like this:

```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running ‘?? using sudo
```

... when it really meant to output something that looked like this:

```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running 'mkdir -m 0755 /nix && chown gabriel /nix' using sudo
```

The reason why is due to some bizarre behavior in Bash where it will translate anything of the form `$x’` to `??`, leading to the incorrect warning message.  I don't know what is the origin of this Bash behavior, but the easiest fix is to just use ASCII quotes instead of unicode quotes.

Eelco Dolstra aa3bc3d5dc Eliminate the substituter mechanism

Eelco Dolstra 41633f9f73 Improved logging abstraction
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.

wmertens 4916d92092 Always verify nix store on install
Just wasted a couple hours chasing shadows because the nix store got
corrupted and there was no indication of that anywhere.

Since an install is one-time only, might as well verify.  Optimization
showed that the copied files aren't read-only; fixed that as well.

Also, use /bin/sh since there's a good chance that this script will be
run on systems without /bin/bash

Eelco Dolstra c4d22997f3 Add C++ functions for .narinfo processing / signing

Alex Cruice ad0dc41899 Check shell profile is writeable before modifying
The `set -e` at the top of the script causes the installation to fail to
complete if the shell profile is not writeable. Checking file existence
only is not enough.

Philip Potter 4f3cf06c97 Verify TLS certificate before downloading binaries
The --insecure flag to curl tells curl not to bother checking if the TLS
certificate presented by the server actually matches the hostname
requested, and actually is issued by a trusted CA chain.  This almost
entirely negates any benefit from using TLS in the first place.

This removes the --insecure flag to ensure we actually have a secure
connection to the intended hostname before downloading binaries.

Manually tested locally within a dev-shell; was able to download
binaries from https://cache.nixos.org without issue.

[Note: --insecure was only used for fetching NARs, whose integrity is
verified by Nix anyway using the hash from the .narinfo. But if we can
fetch the .narinfo without --insecure, we can also fetch the .nar, so
there is not much point to using --insecure. --Eelco]

Eelco Dolstra c0d4173263 Set default binary-caches-parallel-connections to 25
Some benchmarking suggested this as a good value. Running

  $ benchmark -f ... -t 25 -- sh -c 'rm -f /nix/var/nix/binary-cache*; nix-store -r /nix/store/x5z8a2yvz8h6ccmhwrwrp9igg03575jg-nixos-15.09.git.5fd87e1M.drv --dry-run --option binary-caches-parallel-connections <N>'

gave the following mean elapsed times for these values of N:

N=10:  3.3541
N=20:  2.9320
N=25:  2.6690
N=30:  2.9417
N=50:  3.2021
N=100: 3.5718
N=150: 4.2079

Memory usage is also reduced (N=150 used 186 MB, N=25 only 68 MB).

Closes #708.

Utku Demir a49514a2e2 Also set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST=0 when "verify-https-binary-caches" is false
This makes that option even more insecure, by also not checking the SSL host.

But without this parameter, one can still get SSL errors even when
"verify-https-binary-caches" is false, which is unexpected IMO.

Eelco Dolstra e012c126db Revert "add the manpath to the installer"
This reverts commit 76f985b92d. We
shouldn't mess with $MANPATH, because on some "man" implementations
(like NixOS'), the default value on $MANPATH is derived from $PATH. So
if you set $MANPATH, you lose the default locations.
