search.cc: improve UX for nix search
As proposed in #1634 the `nix search` command could use some
improvements. Initially 0413aeb35d added
some basic sorting behavior using `std::map`, a next step would be an
improvement of the output.

This patch includes the following changes:

* Use `$PAGER` for outputs with `RunPager` from `shared.hh`:
  The same behavior is defined for `nix-env --query`, furthermore it
  makes searching huge results way easier.

* Simplified result blocks:
  The new output is heavily inspired by the output from `nox`, the first
  line shows the attribute path and the derivaiton name
  (`attribute path (derivation name)`) and the description in the second
  line.

Daniel Poelzleithner b712d4674b Allow multiple search experssions in nix search
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

Will Dietz 009cf9cd23 nix search: explicitly handle empty search string, fixes #1893
This is important since this is given as an example.
Other patterns containing "empty search string" will still
be handled differently on different platforms ("asdf|")
but that's less of an issue.

Manual: Update chapter on remote builds
Alos add a command "nix ping-store" to make it easier to see if Nix
can connect to a remote builder (e.g. 'nix ping-store --store
ssh://mac').

Linus Heckemann 78ac3eb4eb Fix #1762
nix-store --export, nix-store --dump, and nix dump-path would previously
fail silently if writing the data out failed, because
 a) FdSink::write ignored exceptions, and
 b) the commands relied on FdSink's destructor, which ignores
    exceptions, to flush the data out.

This could cause rather opaque issues with installing nixos, because
nix-store --export would happily proceed even if it couldn't write its
data out (e.g. if nix-store --import on the other side of the pipe
failed).

This commit adds tests that expose these issues in the nix-store
commands, and fixes them for all three.

Improve filtering of ANSI escape sequences in build logs

Add 'nix upgrade-nix' command
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a
store path obtained from

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix

which is the same store path that the installer at
https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses.

The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS,
or when installed outside of the Nix store).
