Add 'nix upgrade-nix' command
...
This command upgrades Nix to the latest stable version by installing a
store path obtained from
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/raw/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix
which is the same store path that the installer at
https://nixos.org/nix/install.sh uses.
The upgrade fails if Nix is not installed in a profile (e.g. on NixOS,
or when installed outside of the Nix store).

Remove git:// support in NIX_PATH
...
This didn't support specifying a revision/branch, and was restricted
to git:// URIs (since https:// or ssh:// would be ambiguous).

Add automatic garbage collection
...
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or
while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>"
specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free
space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete
garbage until "max-free" bytes are available.
Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are
not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a
synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution.
Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage
-d").

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.

rename chroot to sandbox ( fixes #656 , close #682 )
...
- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases,
also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning
- update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented),
including a new file with release notes
- tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs
- __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)
