- Refer to current version in readme
- Split into flakes and non-flakes section
- Change order to move nix-build to the end, since people often start
with it in the beginning.
- Use proper "Note" syntax

Adding a test to ensure there is no regression.
The tests that are split out of `tests/build.sh` are ones that don't yet
work with CA derivation. I have not yet evaluated whether they should or
not.
This behavior, reported missing in issue #4661, already got fixed in
PR #4818, but didn't get a test case then.
Nixpkgs on aarch64-linux is currently stuck on GCC 9
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208412) and using gcc11Stdenv
doesn't work either.
So use c++2a instead of c++20 for now. Unfortunately this means we
can't use some C++20 features for now (like std::span).
Descriptions for commandline flags may not include newlines and should
be rather short for display in a shell. Truncate the description string
of a flag on '\n' or '.' to and add an ellipsis if needed.
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:
- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels
This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels
If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

Fixes#3898
The entire `BinaryCaches` row used to get replaced after it became
stale according to the `timestamp` column. In a concurrent scenario,
this leads to foreign key conflicts as different instances of the
in-process `state.caches` cache now differ, with the consequence that
the older process still tries to use the `id` number of the old record.
Furthermore, this phenomenon appears to have caused the cache for
actual narinfos to be erased about every week, while the default
ttl for narinfos was supposed to be 30 days.
