Eelco Dolstra dc5f2e7da6 nix-build --run-env: Add a ‘--pure’ flag
This causes the environment to be (almost) cleared, thus giving a
shell that more closely resembled the actual Nix derivation.

Eelco Dolstra 656390062a nix-build --run-env: Source $stdenv/setup in the interactive shell
This ensures that not just environment variables are set, but also
shell functions such as unpackPhase, configurePhase and so on.

Eelco Dolstra ea019e9a26 Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’
This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like
Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted
caches are ignored.

Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting

Eelco Dolstra 68dcbb187e download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than root
This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon)
installations.  Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user"
is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.

Eelco Dolstra 9de6bc5d05 nix-store -r: Add ‘--ignore-unknown’ flag
This flag causes paths that do not have a known substitute to be
quietly ignored.  This is mostly useful for Charon, allowing it to
speed up deployment by letting a machine use substitutes for all
substitutable paths, instead of uploading them.  The latter is
frequently faster, e.g. if the target machine has a fast Internet
connection while the source machine is on a slow ADSL line.

Eelco Dolstra bbc107ef1e Process binary caches in order of priority
Binary caches can now specify a priority in their nix-cache-info file.
The binary cache substituter checks caches in order of priority.  This
is to ensure that fast, static caches like nixos.org/binary-cache are
processed before slow, dynamic caches like hydra.nixos.org.

Eelco Dolstra 620e92e880 Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g.

  $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false

Note that

  $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches ''

does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by
channels will still be used.
