--no-net causes tarballTtl to be set to the largest 32-bit integer,
which causes comparison like 'time + tarballTtl < other_time' to
fail on 32-bit systems. So cast them to 64-bit first.

(cherry picked from commit 29ccb2e969)
This flag
* Disables substituters.
* Sets the tarball-ttl to infinity (ensuring e.g. that the flake
registry and any downloaded flakes are considered current).
* Disables retrying downloads and sets the connection timeout to the
minimum. (So it doesn't completely disable downloads at the moment.)
(cherry picked from commit 8ea842260b)
Once we've started writing data to a Sink, we can't restart a download
request, because then we end up writing duplicate data to the
Sink. Therefore we shouldn't handle retries in Downloader but at a
higher level (in particular, in copyStorePath()).
Fixes#2952.

Also, make fetchGit and fetchMercurial update allowedPaths properly.
(Maybe the evaluator, rather than the caller of the evaluator, should
apply toRealPath(), but that's a bigger change.)
(cherry picked from commit 5c34d66538)
This allows many programs (e.g. gcc, clang, cmake) to print colorized
log output (assuming $TERM is set to a value like "xterm").
There are other ways to get colors, in particular setting
CLICOLOR_FORCE, but they're less widely supported and can break
programs that parse tool output.
In a daemon-based Nix setup, some options cannot be overridden by a
client unless the client's user is considered trusted.
Currently, if an untrusted user tries to override one of those
options, we are silently ignoring it.
This can be pretty confusing in certain situations.
e.g. a user thinks he disabled the sandbox when in reality he did not.
We are now sending a warning message letting know the user some options
have been ignored.
Related to #1761.
For the SIGWINCH signal to be caught, it needs to be set in sigaction
on the main thread. Previously, this was broken, and updateWindowSize
was never being called. Tested on macOS 10.14.
In `args@{ a ? 1 }: /* ... */` the value `a` won't be a part of `args`
unless it's specified when calling the function, the default value will
be ignored in this case.
My personal point of view is that this behavior is a matter of taste, at
least I was pretty sure that unmatched arguments will be a part of
`args@` while debugging some Nix code last week.
I decided to add a warning to the docs which hopefully reduces the
confusion of further Nix developers who thought the same about `args@`.
When we are in single user mode, we still want to have access to
profiles. This way things in Nixpkgs that rely on them getting set
accurately are done in both cases. The point where I hit this is with
using aspell which looks in NIX_PROFILES:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/aspell/default.nix
Before this patch, NIX_PROFILES was never set in single user mode!
This corrects that.
