Robert Helgesson eca29bd72d Derive Emacs nix-mode from prog-mode.
Emacs 24.1 introduced the notion of "basic major modes" and among these
is prog-mode, see section "23.2.5 Basic Major Modes" in the Emacs
manual. The prog-mode basic major mode is recommended as a base for
derived major modes that are intended for editing source code.

Eelco Dolstra e74113a305 Fix build-remote.pl
Apparently, turning on utf8 encoding on stderr changes its flushing
behaviour, causing sendReply to not send anything.

Eelco Dolstra b72e93bca8 Add disallowedReferences / disallowedRequisites
For the "stdenv accidentally referring to bootstrap-tools", it seems
easier to specify the path that we don't want to depend on, e.g.

  disallowedRequisites = [ bootstrapTools ];

don't mention it here.

Eelco Dolstra 3f80060500 Fix tests
So all these years I was totally deluded about the meaning of "set
-e". You might think that it causes statements like "false && true" or
"! true" to fail, but it doesn't...

Eelco Dolstra 524f89f139 Use unshare() instead of clone()
It turns out that using clone() to start a child process is unsafe in
a multithreaded program. It can cause the initialisation of a build
child process to hang in setgroups(), as seen several times in the
build farm:

The reason is that Glibc thinks that the other threads of the parent
exist in the child, so in setxid_mark_thread() it tries to get a futex
that has been acquired by another thread just before the clone(). With
fork(), Glibc runs pthread_atfork() handlers that take care of this
(in particular, __reclaim_stacks()). But clone() doesn't do that.

Fortunately, we can use fork()+unshare() instead of clone() to set up
private namespaces.
