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.

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

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.

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.

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).
