nix-channel documentation: don't suggest deprecated function 
Running `nix-instantiate --eval -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).lib.nixpkgsVersion` emits a warning
```
trace: `lib.nixpkgsVersion` is deprecated, use `lib.version` instead!

Danylo Hlynskyi ac22d77fd1 nix-collect-garbage: little doc fix 
This removes confusing documentation. It's better to remove doc than add implementation, because Nix 1.12 will surely have new GC interface anyway.

Eelco Dolstra 6cf23c3e8f
Add allow-new-privileges option 
This allows builds to call setuid binaries. This was previously
possible until we started using seccomp. Turns out that seccomp by
default disallows processes from acquiring new privileges. Generally,
any use of setuid binaries (except those created by the builder
itself) is by definition impure, but some people were relying on this
ability for certain tests.

Example:

  $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --no-allow-new-privileges
  builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 2 log lines:
    cannot raise the capability into the Ambient set
    : Operation not permitted

  $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --allow-new-privileges
  builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 6 log lines:
    PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=15.2 ms

Remove $NIX_BUILD_HOOK and $NIX_CURRENT_LOAD 
This is to simplify remote build configuration. These environment
variables predate nix.conf.

The build hook now has a sensible default (namely build-remote).

The current load is kept in the Nix state directory now.

Store: Add a method for getting build logs 
This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to
get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs
from the binary cache.

Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for
this.

Support auto-configuration of build-max-jobs 
"build-max-jobs" and the "-j" option can now be set to "auto" to use
the number of CPUs in the system. (Unlike build-cores, it doesn't use
0 to imply auto-configuration, because a) magic values are a bad idea
in general; b) 0 is a legitimate value used to disable local
building.)

Fixes #1198.

Eelco Dolstra 18b7363a69 Support optional sandbox paths 
For example, you can now set

  build-sandbox-paths = /dev/nvidiactl?

to specify that /dev/nvidiactl should only be mounted in the sandbox
if it exists in the host filesystem. This is useful e.g. for EC2
images that should support both CUDA and non-CUDA instances.

Eelco Dolstra 6656ef7b5b Revive binary-caches-parallel-connections 
It's a slight misnomer now because it actually limits *all* downloads,

(enabled by default).
