d34d2b2bbf Use posix_spawn to run the pager
In low memory environments, "nix-env -qa" failed because the fork to
run the pager hit the kernel's overcommit limits. Using posix_spawn
gets around this. (Actually, you have to use posix_spawn with the
undocumented POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag, otherwise it just uses
fork/exec...)

320659b0cd Allow external code using libnixexpr to add types
Code that links to libnixexpr (e.g. plugins loaded with importNative, or
nix-exec) may want to provide custom value types and operations on
values of those types. For example, nix-exec is currently using sets
where a custom IO value type would be more appropriate. This commit
provides a generic hook for such types in the form of tExternal and the
ExternalBase virtual class, which contains all functions necessary for
libnixexpr's type-polymorphic functions (e.g. `showType`) to be
implemented.

976df480c9 Add a primop for regular expression pattern matching
The function ‘builtins.match’ takes a POSIX extended regular
expression and an arbitrary string. It returns ‘null’ if the string
does not match the regular expression. Otherwise, it returns a list
containing substring matches corresponding to parenthesis groups in
the regex. The regex must match the entire string (i.e. there is an
implied "^<pat>$" around the regex).  For example:

  match "foo" "foobar" => null
  match "foo" "foo" => []
  match "f(o+)(.*)" "foooobar" => ["oooo" "bar"]
  match "(.*/)?([^/]*)" "/dir/file.nix" => ["/dir/" "file.nix"]
  match "(.*/)?([^/]*)" "file.nix" => [null "file.nix"]

The following example finds all regular files with extension .nix or
.patch underneath the current directory:

  let

    findFiles = pat: dir: concatLists (mapAttrsToList (name: type:
      if type == "directory" then
        findFiles pat (dir + "/" + name)
      else if type == "regular" && match pat name != null then
        [(dir + "/" + name)]
      else []) (readDir dir));

  in findFiles ".*\\.(nix|patch)" (toString ./.)

b7b6e3ddec Build derivations in a more predictable order
Derivations are now built in order of derivation name, so a package
named "aardvark" is built before "baboon".

b0c5c2ac34 import derivation: cleanup
Before this there was a bug where a `find` was being called on a
not-yet-sorted set. The code was just a mess before anyway, so I cleaned
it up while fixing it.

8299aaf079 Disable vacuuming the DB after garbage collection
Especially in WAL mode on a highly loaded machine, this is not a good
idea because it results in a WAL file of approximately the same size
ad the database, which apparently cannot be deleted while anybody is
accessing it.

a3e5c99d66 nix-daemon: Call exit(), not _exit()
This was preventing destructors from running. In particular, it was
preventing the deletion of the temproot file for each worker
process. It may also have been responsible for the excessive WAL
growth on Hydra (due to the SQLite database not being closed
properly).

Apparently broken by accident in
8e9140cfde.

997defa166 Add functors (callable attribute sets).
With this, attribute sets with a `__functor` attribute can be applied
just like normal functions. This can be used to attach arbitrary
metadata to a function without callers needing to treat it specially.
