Respect the outputSpecified attribute
E.g. 'nix build nixpkgs#libxml2.dev' will build the 'dev' output.

Jan Tojnar 7708a34a51 doc: Add anchors to long lists
Added using the following sed scripts:

- For command-ref/opt-common.md:

    s~- `(--?)([^`]+)`~- [`\1\2`]{#opt-\2}~g

- For expressions/builtin-constants.md:

    s~- `(builtins\.?)([^`]+)`~- [`\1\2`]{#builtins-\2}~g

- For expressions/advanced-attributes.md

    s~^  - `([^`]+)`~  - [`\1`]{#adv-attr-\1}~g

  and manually adjusted outputHashAlgo & outputHashMode.

- For glossary.md

    s~^  - (`([^`]+)`|(.+)) ?\\~  - [\1]{#gloss-\2\3}\\~g;
    s~(gloss-\w+) ~\1-~g

  and manually adjusted anchors for Nix expression, user environment, NAR, ∅ and ε.

- For command-ref/env-common.md

    s~^  - `([^`]+)`~  - [`\1`]{#env-\1}~g'

Tony Olagbaiye 5b8c1deb18 fetchTree: Allow fetching plain files
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.

Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:

- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
  file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
  `https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
  `https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
  the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
  the `tarball+` part removed)

Fix #3785

Tom Bereknyei f25112d383 fix: builtins.toFile adds path to allowedPaths
The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere:
```
assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good"
```

This will still fail on write-only stores.

nix repl: make symlinks with the :bl command
Requested by ppepino on the Matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/!KqkRjyTEzAGRiZFBYT:nixos.org/$Tb32BS3rVE2BSULAX4sPm0h6CDewX2hClOTGzTC7gwM?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev

This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates
a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs.

ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> ./outputs/out/bin/nix repl
Welcome to Nix 2.6.0. Type :? for help.

nix-repl> :l <nixpkgs>
Added 16118 variables.

nix-repl> :b runCommand "hello" {} "echo hi > $out"

This derivation produced the following outputs:
  ./repl-result-out -> /nix/store/kidqq2acdpi05c4a9mlbg2baikmzik44-hello
[1 built, 0.0 MiB DL]
ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> cat ./repl-result-out

pennae 2799fe4cdb enable LTO in optimized builds
gives 2-5% performance improvement across a board of tests.
LTO is broken when using clang; some libs link fine while others crash
the linker with a segfault in the llvm linker plugin. 🙁

doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOS
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has
gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking
Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed
uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.
