Avoid a call to derivationFromPath()
This doesn't work in read-only mode, ensuring that operations like

  nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org -S nixpkgs.hello

(asking for the closure size of nixpkgs.hello in cache.nixos.org) work
when nixpkgs.hello doesn't exist in the local store.

StorePathsCommand: Don't build installables
On second though this was annoying. E.g. "nix log nixpkgs.hello" would
build/download Hello first, even though the log can be fetched
directly from the binary cache.

May need to revisit this.

Fix "nix ... --all"
When "--all" is used, we should not fill in a default installable.

StorePathCommands: Build installables
So for instance "nix copy --to ... nixpkgs.hello" will build
nixpkgs.hello first. It's debatable whether this is a good idea. It
seems desirable for commands like "nix copy" but maybe not for
commands like "nix path-info".

Set default installable
Thus

  $ nix build -f foo.nix

will build foo.nix.

And

  $ nix build

will build default.nix. However, this may not be a good idea because
it's kind of inconsistent, given that "nix build foo" will build the
"foo" attribute from the default installation source (i.e. the
synthesis of $NIX_PATH), rather than ./default.nix. So I may revert
this.

Interpret any installable containing a slash as a path
So "nix path-info ./result" now works.

Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"
This reverts commit f78126bfd6. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

Eelco Dolstra d74236d1f2 nix build: Use Nix search path
That is, unless --file is specified, the Nix search path is
synthesized into an attribute set. Thus you can say

  $ nix build nixpkgs.hello

assuming $NIX_PATH contains an entry of the form "nixpkgs=...". This
is more verbose than

  $ nix build hello

but is less ambiguous.

Eelco Dolstra 206bbb5dc9 Add basic "nix build" command
Currently only builds by attribute from <nixpkgs> or the specified
file, e.g. "nix build hello".
