Eelco Dolstra 6dd1087396 Fix Debian tests
These actually run as root in a VM, so they get confused.

Eelco Dolstra 696f960dee Set up directories and permissions for multi-user install automatically
This automatically creates /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user and sets the
permissions/ownership on /nix/store to 1775 and root:nixbld.

Eelco Dolstra ada3e3fa15 When running as root, use build users by default
This removes the need to have a nix.conf, and prevents people from
accidentally running Nix builds as root.

Ricardo M. Correia 700c678c2e nix-env: Minor change to '--delete-generations Nd' semantics
The option '--delete-generations Nd' deletes all generations older than N
days. However, most likely the user does not want to delete the
generation that was active N days ago.

For example, say that you have these 3 generations:

1: <30 days ago>
2: <15 days ago>
3: <1 hour ago>

If you do --delete-generations 7d (say, as part of a cron job), most
likely you still want to keep generation 2, i.e. the generation that was
active 7 days ago (and for most of the past 7 days, in fact).

This patch fixes this issue. Note that this also affects
'nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than Nd'.

Thanks to @roconnor for noticing the issue!

Ludovic Courtès e7720aa10a Make sure /dev/pts/ptmx is world-writable
While running Python 3’s test suite, we noticed that on some systems
/dev/pts/ptmx is created with permissions 0 (that’s the case with my
Nixpkgs-originating 3.0.43 kernel, but someone with a Debian-originating
3.10-3 reported not having this problem.)

There’s still the problem that people without
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y are screwed (as noted in build.cc),
but I don’t see how we could work around it.

Maxim Ivanov 59c9019685 Fix nix-shell for derivation with multiple outputs
If derivation declares multiple outputs and first (default) output
if not "out", then "nix-instantiate" calls return path with output
names appended after "!". Than suffix must be stripped before
ant path checks are done.

Eelco Dolstra acb8facbbc Fix potential segfault in waitForInput()
Since the addition of build-max-log-size, a call to
handleChildOutput() can result in cancellation of a goal.  This
invalidated the "j" iterator in the waitForInput() loop, even though
it was still used afterwards.  Likewise for the maxSilentTime
handling.

Probably fixes #231.  At least it gets rid of the valgrind warnings.
