Fix tar invocation on FreeBSD
tar(1) on FreeBSD does not use standard output or input when the -f flag
is not provided. Instead, it defaults to /dev/sa0 on FreeBSD.

Make this tar invocation a bit more robust and explicitly tell tar(1) to
use standard output.

This is one of the issues discovered while porting Nix to FreeBSD. It has
been tested and committed locally to FreeBSD ports:

Merge legacy fetchGit-builtin with the generic fetchTree-function
The original idea was to implement a git-fetcher in Nix's core that
supports content hashes[1]. In #3549[2] it has been suggested to
actually use `fetchTree` for this since it's a fairly generic wrapper
over the new fetcher-API[3] and already supports content-hashes.

This patch implements a new git-fetcher based on `fetchTree` by
incorporating the following changes:

* Removed the original `fetchGit`-implementation and replaced it with an
  alias on the `fetchTree` implementation.

* Ensured that the `git`-fetcher from `libfetchers` always computes a
  content-hash and returns an "empty" revision on dirty trees (the
  latter one is needed to retain backwards-compatibility).

* The hash-mismatch error in the fetcher-API exits with code 102 as it
  usually happens whenever a hash-mismatch is detected by Nix.

* Removed the `flakes`-feature-flag: I didn't see a reason why this API
  is so tightly coupled to the flakes-API and at least `fetchGit` should
  remain usable without any feature-flags.

* It's only possible to specify a `narHash` for a `git`-tree if either a
  `ref` or a `rev` is given[4].

* It's now possible to specify an URL without a protocol. If it's missing,
  `file://` is automatically added as it was the case in the original
  `fetchGit`-implementation.

Eelco Dolstra 462421d345 Backport libfetchers from the flakes branch
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.

  fetchTree {
    type = "git";
    url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
    ref = "some-branch";
    rev = "abcdef...";
  }

The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.

All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).

This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).

Eelco Dolstra 363f37d084 Make the search path lazier with non-fatal errors
Thus, -I / $NIX_PATH entries are now downloaded only when they are
needed for evaluation. An error to download an entry is a non-fatal
warning (just like non-existant paths).

This does change the semantics of builtins.nixPath, which now returns
the original, rather than resulting path. E.g., before we had

  [ { path = "/nix/store/hgm3yxf1lrrwa3z14zpqaj5p9vs0qklk-nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ]

but now

  [ { path = "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.03/nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ]

Fixes #792.

The tarball cache is stored in $HOME, so the test should set up its
