Add path primop.
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths
with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat
instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a
generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected
hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).

Rename "use-substitutes" to "substitute"
Commit c2154d4c84 renamed
"build-use-substitutes" to "use-substitutes", but that broke
"nix-copy-closure --use-substitutes".

signed-binary-caches -> require-sigs
Unlike signed-binary-caches (which could only be '*' or ''),
require-sigs is a proper Boolean option. The default is true.

binary-cache-public-keys -> trusted-public-keys
The name had become a misnomer since it's not only for substitution
from binary caches, but when adding/copying any
(non-content-addressed) path to a store.

Remove git:// support in NIX_PATH
This didn't support specifying a revision/branch, and was restricted

Add automatic garbage collection
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or
while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>"
specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free
space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete
garbage until "max-free" bytes are available.

Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are
not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a
synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution.

Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage
-d").

Rename a few configuration options
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are
pointless. So now you can say

  nix build --no-sandbox

instead of

  nix build --no-build-use-sandbox

Remove nix-mode.el from Nix.
This removes the file nix-mode.el from Nix. The file is now available within the
repository https://github.com/NixOS/nix-mode.

Fixes #662
Fixes #1040
Fixes #1054
Fixes #1055
Closes #1119
Fixes #1419

NOTE: all of the above should be fixed within NixOS/nix-mode. If one of those
hasn’t please reopen within NixOS/nix-mode and not within NixOS/nix.

Nicolas B. Pierron b8867a0239 Add builtins.string function.
The function 'builtins.split' takes a POSIX extended regular expression
and an arbitrary string. It returns a list of non-matching substring
interleaved by lists of matched groups of the regular expression.

```nix
with builtins;
assert split "(a)b" "abc"      == [ "" [ "a" ] "c" ];
assert split "([ac])" "abc"    == [ "" [ "a" ] "b" [ "c" ] "" ];
assert split "(a)|(c)" "abc"   == [ "" [ "a" null ] "b" [ null "c" ] "" ];
assert split "([[:upper:]]+)" "  FOO   "
                               == [ "  " [ "FOO" ] "   " ];
