StorePathCommands: Build installables
So for instance "nix copy --to ... nixpkgs.hello" will build
nixpkgs.hello first. It's debatable whether this is a good idea. It
seems desirable for commands like "nix copy" but maybe not for
commands like "nix path-info".

Set default installable
Thus

  $ nix build -f foo.nix

will build foo.nix.

And

  $ nix build

will build default.nix. However, this may not be a good idea because
it's kind of inconsistent, given that "nix build foo" will build the
"foo" attribute from the default installation source (i.e. the
synthesis of $NIX_PATH), rather than ./default.nix. So I may revert
this.

Interpret any installable containing a slash as a path
So "nix path-info ./result" now works.

Make StorePathsCommand a subclass of InstallablesCommand
This allows commands like 'nix path-info', 'nix copy', 'nix verify'
etc. to work on arbitrary installables. E.g. to copy geeqie to a
binary cache:

  $ nix copy -r --to file:///tmp/binary-cache nixpkgs.geeqie

Or to get the closure size of thunderbird:

  $ nix path-info -S nixpkgs.thunderbird

Add "nix eval" command
This replaces "nix-instantiate --eval". The result is evaluated
strictly since this seems more useful.

getDerivations(): Filter out packages with bad derivation names
In particular, this disallows attribute names containing dots or

following packages in Nixpkgs master:

  389-ds-base
  90secondportraits
  lispPackages.3bmd
  lispPackages.hu.dwim.asdf

Eelco Dolstra 2040240e23
Add a Config class to simplify adding configuration settings
The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members:

  class MyClass : private Config
  {
    Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"};
    Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"};

    MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf"))
    {
      std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden
    }
  };

Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store
parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store
parameter in a store URI.

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.
