Add automatic garbage collection
Nix can now automatically run the garbage collector during builds or
while adding paths to the store. The option "min-free = <bytes>"
specifies that Nix should run the garbage collector whenever free
space in the Nix store drops below <bytes>. It will then delete
garbage until "max-free" bytes are available.

Garbage collection during builds is asynchronous; running builds are
not paused and new builds are not blocked. However, there also is a
synchronous GC run prior to the first build/substitution.

Currently, no old GC roots are deleted (as in "nix-collect-garbage
-d").

Move note about float support out of the wrong release notes
Looks like this snuck into the 1.11 release notes post-release, but
float support isn't actually present until 1.12.

Fix 1.8 release note about build-max-jobs
We set build-cores automatically, not build-max-jobs. (The commit
message for de4cdd0d47 also got this
wrong.)

b39622a487 rename chroot to sandbox (fixes #656, close #682)
- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases,
  also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning
- update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented),
  including a new file with release notes
- tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs
- __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)
