configure.ac: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to determine how to enable 64-bit file size support
...
Defining -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 works on most platforms, but not on all (i.e.
Solaris). Also, the Autoconf macro offers the user a switch to disable the
functionality in case of problems.

* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
isn't a NAR archive.

* Do chroot builds in a private namespace. This means that all the
...
bind-mounts we do are only visible to the builder process and its
children. So accidentally doing "rm -rf" on the chroot directory
won't wipe out /nix/store and other bind-mounted directories
anymore. Also, the bind-mounts in the private namespace disappear
automatically when the builder exits.

* Give unpacked channels more sensible names than 0, 1, ... They now
...
get the basename of the channel URL (e.g., nixpkgs-unstable). The
top-level Nix expression of the channel is now an attribute set, the
attributes of which are the individual channels (e.g.,
{nixpkgs_unstable = ...; strategoxt_unstable = ...}). This makes
attribute paths ("nix-env -qaA" and "nix-env -iA") more sensible,
e.g., "nix-env -iA nixpkgs_unstable.subversion".

Rather, setuid support is now always compiled in (at least on
platforms that have the setresuid system call, e.g., Linux and
FreeBSD), but it must enabled by chowning/chmodding the Nix
binaries.
