Eelco Dolstra 85c8be6286 Remove static variable name clashes
This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single
compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't
hurt...

Eelco Dolstra 3624c042ac nix: Add --derivation flag to operate on .drv paths
For instance, 'nix why-depends --use-derivation nixpkgs#hello
nixpkgs#glibc' shows why hello's .drv depends on glibc's .drv.

Eelco Dolstra 26cf0c674f nix run: Use packages/legacyPackages as fallback if there is no app definition
'nix run' will try to run $out/bin/<name>, where <name> is the
derivation name (excluding the version). This often works well:

  $ nix run nixpkgs#hello
  Hello, world!

  $ nix run nix -- --version
  nix (Nix) 2.4pre20200626_adf2fbb

  $ nix run patchelf -- --version
  patchelf 0.11.20200623.e61654b

  $ nix run nixpkgs#firefox -- --version
  Mozilla Firefox 77.0.1

  $ nix run nixpkgs#gimp -- --version
  GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.10.14

though not always:

  $ nix run nixpkgs#git
  error: unable to execute '/nix/store/kp7wp760l4gryq9s36x481b2x4rfklcy-git-2.25.4/bin/git-minimal': No such file or directory

Eelco Dolstra 5f64655ff4 Move registry-related commands from 'nix flake' to 'nix registry'
This makes 'nix flake' less cluttered and more consistent (it's only
subcommands that operator on a flake). Also, the registry is not
inherently flake-related (e.g. fetchTree could also use it to remap
inputs).

Eelco Dolstra bbe97dff8b Make the Store API more type-safe
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which
is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures
that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like
<store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like
buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path
by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix.

Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves
some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a
helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop()
function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics:
after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function
on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original
value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the
value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types.

Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern
(e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).

Eelco Dolstra 7d38060a0d Support non-x86_64-linux system types in flakes
A command like

  $ nix run nixpkgs#hello

will now build the attribute 'packages.${system}.hello' rather than
'packages.hello'. Note that this does mean that the flake needs to
export an attribute for every system type it supports, and you can't
build on unsupported systems. So 'packages' typically looks like this:

  packages = nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs ["x86_64-linux" "i686-linux"] (system: {
    hello = ...;
  });

The 'checks', 'defaultPackage', 'devShell', 'apps' and 'defaultApp'
outputs similarly are now attrsets that map system types to
derivations/apps. 'nix flake check' checks that the derivations for
all platforms evaluate correctly, but only builds the derivations in
'checks.${system}'.

Fixes #2861. (That issue also talks about access to ~/.config/nixpkgs
and --arg, but I think it's reasonable to say that flakes shouldn't
support those.)

The alternative to attribute selection is to pass the system type as
an argument to the flake's 'outputs' function, e.g. 'outputs = { self,
nixpkgs, system }: ...'. However, that approach would be at odds with
hermetic evaluation and make it impossible to enumerate the packages
provided by a flake.

Matthew Bauer d171090530 Disable CLONE_NEWUSER when it’s unavailable
Some kernels disable "unpriveleged user namespaces". This is
unfortunate, but we can still use mount namespaces. Anyway, since each
builder has its own nixbld user, we already have most of the benefits
of user namespaces.

nix app: Search for installable in the 'apps' output
I.e. you can write

  $ nix app blender-bin:blender_2_80

which is equivalent to

  $ nix app blender-bin:apps.blender_2_80

Eelco Dolstra 5fbd9fee0b
Add 'nix app' command
This is like 'nix run', except that the command to execute is defined
in a flake output, e.g.

  defaultApp = {
    type = "app";
    program = "${packages.blender_2_80}/bin/blender";
  };

Thus you can do

  $ nix app blender-bin

to start Blender from the 'blender-bin' flake.

In the future, we can extend this with sandboxing. (For example we
would want to be able to specify that Blender should not have network
access by default and should only have access to certain paths in the
user's home directory.)

Revert "Restore parent mount namespace before executing a child process"
This reverts commit a0ef21262f. This
doesn't work in 'nix run' and nix-shell because setns() fails in
multithreaded programs, and Boehm GC mark threads are uncancellable.

Fixes #2646.
