Robert Vollmert 60da5d2b8f Fix nix-instantiate manpage indentation 
The second command variant is now its own cmdsynopsis, which ensures
it's not indented as was the case using sbrk.

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

Fixes #1429.

Replace readline by linenoise 
Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (#1356), is a lot
smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.

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.

Drop misleading ellipses 
This portion of the quick start guide may lead to confusion for
newcomers to Nix.  This change clarifies the example to one that can be
copied in its entirety.

Move note about float support out of the wrong release notes 
Looks like this snuck into the 1.11 release notes post-release, but
float support isn't actually present until 1.12.

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.
