Eelco Dolstra b9fb372075 Add --update-input flag to update a specific flake input
Typical usage:

  $ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard --update-input nixpkgs

to update the 'nixpkgs' input of a flake while leaving every other
input unchanged.

The argument is an input path, so you can do e.g. '--update-input
dwarffs/nixpkgs' to update an input of an input.

Fixes #2928.

Eelco Dolstra 26f895a26d Clean up the lock file handling flags
Added a flag --no-update-lock-file to barf if the lock file needs any
changes. This is useful for CI systems if you're building a
checkout. Fixes #2947.

Renamed --no-save-lock-file to --no-write-lock-file. It is now a fatal
error if the lock file needs changes but --no-write-lock-file is not
given.

Eelco Dolstra f68bed7f67 Add flag --override-input to override specific lock file entries
E.g.

  $ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard \
    --override-input 'dwarffs/nixpkgs' ../my-nixpkgs

overrides the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'dwarffs' input of the top-level
flake.

Fixes #2837.

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 ca8caaec5e nix: Add --expr flag
This replaces the '(...)' installable syntax, which is not very
discoverable. The downside is that you can't have multiple expressions
or mix expressions and other installables.

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.

Improve error message when a directory is not a flake
So you now get

  error: path '.' is not a flake (because it does not reference a Git repository)

rather than

  $ nix build
  error: unsupported argument '.'

Eelco Dolstra 30ccf4e52d Turn flake inputs into an attrset
Instead of a list, inputs are now an attrset like

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.uri = github:NixOS/nixpkgs;
  };

If 'uri' is omitted, than the flake is a lookup in the flake registry, e.g.

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs = {};
  };

but in that case, you can also just omit the input altogether and
specify it as an argument to the 'outputs' function, as in

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: ...

This also gets rid of 'nonFlakeInputs', which are now just a special
kind of input that have a 'flake = false' attribute, e.g.

  inputs = {
    someRepo = {
      uri = github:example/repo;
      flake = false;
    };
  };

Eelco Dolstra 6644b6099b
Add flake evaluation cache
This exploits the hermetic nature of flake evaluation to speed up
repeated evaluations of a flake output attribute.

For example (doing 'nix build' on an already present package):

  $ time nix build nixpkgs:firefox

  real    0m1.497s
  user    0m1.160s
  sys     0m0.139s

  $ time nix build nixpkgs:firefox

  real    0m0.052s
  user    0m0.038s
  sys     0m0.007s

The cache is ~/.cache/nix/eval-cache-v1.sqlite, which has entries like

  INSERT INTO Attributes VALUES(
    X'92a907d4efe933af2a46959b082cdff176aa5bfeb47a98fabd234809a67ab195',
    'packages.firefox',
    1,
    '/nix/store/pbalzf8x19hckr8cwdv62rd6g0lqgc38-firefox-67.0.drv /nix/store/g6q0gx0v6xvdnizp8lrcw7c4gdkzana0-firefox-67.0 out');

where the hash 92a9... is a fingerprint over the flake store path and
the contents of the lockfile. Because flakes are evaluated in pure
mode, this uniquely identifies the evaluation result.

Make flake input fetching lazy
As long as the flake input is locked, it is now only fetched when it
is evaluated (e.g. "nixpkgs" is fetched when
"inputs.nixpkgs.<something>" is evaluated).

This required adding an "id" attribute to the members of "inputs" in
lockfiles, e.g.

  "inputs": {
    "nixpkgs/release-19.03": {
      "id": "nixpkgs",
      "inputs": {},
      "narHash": "sha256-eYtxncIMFVmOHaHBtTdPGcs/AnJqKqA6tHCm0UmPYQU=",
      "nonFlakeInputs": {},
      "uri": "github:edolstra/nixpkgs/e9d5882bb861dc48f8d46960e7c820efdbe8f9c1"
    }
  }

because the flake ID needs to be known beforehand to construct the
"inputs" attrset.

Fixes #2913.

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.)

Eelco Dolstra 90fe1dfd2f Register flake source trees as GC roots
This ensures that flakes don't get garbage-collected, which is
important to get nix-channel-like behaviour.

For example, running

  $ nix build hydra:

will create a GC root

  ~/.cache/nix/flake-closures/hydra -> /nix/store/xarfiqcwa4w8r4qpz1a769xxs8c3phgn-flake-closure

where the contents/references of the linked file in the store are the
flake source trees used by the 'hydra' flake:

  /nix/store/n6d5f5lkpfjbmkyby0nlg8y1wbkmbc7i-source
  /nix/store/vbkg4zy1qd29fnhflsv9k2j9jnbqd5m2-source
  /nix/store/z46xni7d47s5wk694359mq9ay353ar94-source

Note that this in itself is not enough to allow offline use; the
fetcher for the flakeref (e.g. fetchGit or downloadCached) must not
fail if it cannot fetch the latest version of the file, so long as it
knows a cached version.

Issue #2868.
