Eelco Dolstra e133e91410 Support tab-completion on attribute sets
Example:

$ nix-repl '<nixos>'

> config.services.xserver.desktop<TAB>

comletes to

> config.services.xserver.desktopManager

You also get suggestions if there are multiple matches:

> config.services.xserver.desktopManager.kde4
config.services.xserver.desktopManager.kde4.enable
config.services.xserver.desktopManager.kde4.phononBackends

Eelco Dolstra 7e3625f924 Improved value display
By default, we don't recurse into attribute sets or lists when
printing a value.  However, the new :p command does recurse.

Eelco Dolstra 936f9d45ba Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)
As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has
its affinity set to a single CPU.  This is because nix-shell connects
to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied.  So
we turn this off for Perl programs.

Eelco Dolstra 2c1ecf8e81 nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it
happens in a single transaction.  Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces
the profile with the specified set of packages.

The main motivation is to support declarative package management
(similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS).  That is, if you
have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this:

  with import <nixpkgs> {};
  [ thunderbird
    geeqie
    ...
  ]

then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run:

  $ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir

to update the profile to match the specification.  (Without the ‘-r’
flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed
from the actual profile.)

Suggested by @zefhemel.

Eelco Dolstra 88c07341a6 nix-env: Use wildcard match by default
That is, you don't need to pass '*' anymore, so

  nix-env -qa

is equivalent to

Eelco Dolstra 07a08bddf0 nix-env: Load files in ~/.nix-defexpr on demand

parsed/evaluated at all.

Eelco Dolstra ef4f5ba85e Work on Values instead of Exprs
This prevents some duplicate evaluation in nix-env and
nix-instantiate.

Also, when traversing ~/.nix-defexpr, only read regular files with the
extension .nix.  Previously it was reading files like
.../channels/binary-caches/<name>.  The only reason this didn't cause
problems is pure luck (namely, <name> shadows an actual Nix
expression, the binary-caches files happen to be syntactically valid
Nix expressions, and we iterate over the directory contents in just
the right order).

Eelco Dolstra 6f809194d7 Get rid of the parse tree cache
Since we already cache files in normal form (fileEvalCache), caching
parse trees is redundant.

Note that getting rid of this cache doesn't actually save much memory
at the moment, because parse trees are currently not freed / GC'ed.

Eelco Dolstra 0f6279d874 Add a command :l for loading a file into scope

nix-repl> lib.range 0 10

nix-repl> :l <nixos>

Eelco Dolstra 287c88ca59 Support adding variables to the scope
The command ":a <expr>" evaluates <expr> and adds the attributes in
the resulting attribute set to the interpreter scope.  For instance:

nix-repl> lib.range 0 10
[ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

Shea Levy afc6c1bad6 Simplify inherited attribute handling
This reduces the difference between inherited and non-inherited
attribute handling to the choice of which env to use (in recs and lets)
by setting the AttrDef::e to a new ExprVar in the parser rather than
carrying a separate AttrDef::v VarRef member.

As an added bonus, this allows inherited attributes that inherit from a
with to delay forcing evaluation of the with's attributes.

Gergely Risko c6c024ca6f Fix personality switching from x86_64 to i686
On Linux, Nix can build i686 packages even on x86_64 systems.  It's not
enough to recognize this situation by settings.thisSystem, we also have
to consult uname().  E.g. we can be running on a i686 Debian with an
amd64 kernel.  In that situation settings.thisSystem is i686-linux, but
we still need to change personality to i686 to make builds consistent.

Shea Levy 58204a3c39 corepkgs/nar.nix: Prefer local builds
nar.nix's builder depends on coreutils and nix itself being in $PATH.
Unfortunately, there's no good way to ensure that these packages exist
in the same place on the remote machine: The local machine may have nix
installed in /usr, and the remote machine in /usr/local, but the
generated nar.sh builder will refer to /usr and thus fail on the remote
machine. This ensures that nar.sh is run on the same machine that
instantiates it.
