set block size to 0 to let the lzma lib choose the right one, add
some comments about possible improvements wrt memory usage/threading.

support multi threaded xz encoder, this might be particularly useful in
the case of hydra where the overhead of single threaded encoding is more
noticeable e.g most of the time spent in "Sending inputs"/"Receiving outputs"
is due to compression while the actual upload to the binary cache seems
to be negligible.

Eelco Dolstra d4dcffd643
Add pure evaluation mode
In this mode, the following restrictions apply:

* The builtins currentTime, currentSystem and storePath throw an
  error.

* $NIX_PATH and -I are ignored.

* fetchGit and fetchMercurial require a revision hash.

* fetchurl and fetchTarball require a sha256 attribute.

* No file system access is allowed outside of the paths returned by
  fetch{Git,Mercurial,url,Tarball}. Thus 'nix build -f ./foo.nix' is
  not allowed.

Thus, the evaluation result is completely reproducible from the
command line arguments. E.g.

  nix build --pure-eval '(
    let
      nix = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; rev = "9c927de4b179a6dd210dd88d34bda8af4b575680"; };
      nixpkgs = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-17.09"; rev = "66b4de79e3841530e6d9c6baf98702aa1f7124e4"; };
    in (import (nix + "/release.nix") { inherit nix nixpkgs; }).build.x86_64-linux
  )'

The goal is to enable completely reproducible and traceable
evaluation. For example, a NixOS configuration could be fully
described by a single Git commit hash. 'nixos-rebuild' would do
something like

  nix build --pure-eval '(
    (import (fetchGit { url = file:///my-nixos-config; rev = "..."; })).system
  ')

where the Git repository /my-nixos-config would use further fetchGit
calls or Git externals to fetch Nixpkgs and whatever other
dependencies it has. Either way, the commit hash would uniquely
identify the NixOS configuration and allow it to reproduced.

Will Dietz 9dd2b8ac7b use libbrotli directly when available
* Look for both 'brotli' and 'bro' as external command,
  since upstream has renamed it in newer versions.
  If neither are found, current runtime behavior
  is preserved: try to find 'bro' on PATH.
* Limit amount handed to BrotliEncoderCompressStream
  to ensure interrupts are processed in a timely manner.
  Testing shows negligible performance impact.
  (Other compression sinks don't seem to require this)

builtins.fetchgit: Support importing a working tree
For example, you can write

  src = fetchgit ./.;

and if ./. refers to an unclean working tree, that tree will be copied
to the Nix store. This removes the need for "cleanSource".

Fix (highly unlikely) race condition in readLink
Used to determine symlink size with stat and value with readlink.
This could technically result in garbage if symlink changed between
calls.  Also gets around the broken stat implementation in our
network filesystem (returns size + 1 giving a byte of garbage).

Fix a hang in ThreadPool
The worker threads could exit prematurely if they finished processing
all items while the main thread was still adding items. In particular,
this caused hanging nix-store --serve processes in the build farm.

Also, process items from the main thread.

RemoteStore: Add option to drop old connections from the pool
This is a hack to make hydra-queue-runner free its temproots
periodically, thereby ensuring that garbage collection of the
corresponding paths is not blocked until the queue runner is
restarted.

It would be better if temproots could be released earlier than at
process exit. I started working on a RAII object returned by functions
like addToStore() that releases temproots. However, this would be a
pretty massive change so I gave up on it for now.

ThreadPool: Improve exception handling
In particular, process() won't return as long as there are active
items. This prevents work item lambdas from referring to stack frames
that no longer exist.

nix run: Allow passing a command to execute
E.g.

  nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting Hallo

Note that unlike "nix-shell --command", no quoting of arguments is
necessary.

"-c" (short for "--command") cannot be combined with "--" because they
both consume all remaining arguments. But since installables shouldn't
start with a dash, this is unlikely to cause problems.

readLink(): Handle symlinks in /proc
Symlinks like /proc/self/exe report a stat() size of 0, so use a
buffer of at least PATH_MAX instead.
