- Clean deprecated spec file macros ( < EL6 )
- Allow to build Nix on EL7 using Software collection and Copr backports
- Add conditional build to build Nix RPM without documentation for dev builds
- Add missing BuildRequires (openssl, and others )
E.g. this makes
nix eval --restrict-eval -I /nix/store/foo '(builtins.readFile "/nix/store/foo/symlink/bla")'
(where /nix/store/foo/symlink is a symlink to another path in the
closure of /nix/store/foo) succeed.
This fixes a regression in Hydra compared to Nix 1.x (where there were
no restrictions at all on access to the Nix store).
This removes confusing documentation. It's better to remove doc than add implementation, because Nix 1.12 will surely have new GC interface anyway.

The existing ordering linked `libutil` before `libstore`, which causes
link failures when building statically. This is due to `libstore` using
functions from `libutil`, and the fact that symbol resolution works
"forward" - i.e. if you pass `-lfoo -lbar -lbaz`, any symbols that
`libbar` uses from `libbaz` will be resolved, but symbols from `libfoo`
will not since it comes first in the command line.
All this to say: this commit reorders the libraries which fixes the link
errors.
Don't bind-mount these to themselves,
mount them into the chroot directory.
Fixes pty issues when using sandbox on CentOS 7.4.

By passing --daemon or --no-daemon, the installer can be forced to
select one or the other installation options, despite what the
automatic detection can provide.
This commit can be backported to 2.0-maintenance because it explicitly
turns off the daemon installation for Linux under systemd.
The common use case is to search for packages containing multiple words
like a "git" "frontend". Having only one expressions makes this simple regular
use case very complicated. Instead, search accepts multiple regular epressions
which all need to match.
nix search git 'gui|frontend'
returns a list of all git uis for example
