Dan Peebles 4a4a009f78 Allow optional localhost network access to sandboxed derivations 
This will allow bind and connect to 127.0.0.1, which can reduce purity/
security (if you're running a vulnerable service on localhost) but is
also needed for a ton of test suites, so I'm leaving it turned off by
default but allowing certain derivations to turn it on as needed.

It also allows DNS resolution of arbitrary hostnames but I haven't found
a way to avoid that. In principle I'd just want to allow resolving
localhost but that doesn't seem to be possible.

I don't think this belongs under `build-use-sandbox = relaxed` because we
want it on Hydra and I don't think it's the end of the world.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
