1132dd27ea Fix obscure race condition in GC root creation
This should fix rare Hydra errors of the form:

error: symlinking `/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/hydra/hydra-roots/7sfhs5fdmjxm8sqgcpd0pgcsmz1kq0l0-nixos-iso-0.1pre33785-33795' to `/nix/store/7sfhs5fdmjxm8sqgcpd0pgcsmz1kq0l0-nixos-iso-0.1pre33785-33795': File exists

1d0bafb74d Follow redirects early to ensure consistency between the manifest and the tarball
Without this change, if the URL is a redirect that changes in between,
we can get a manifest that doesn't match the tarball.

e855c7e2c9 nix-channel improvements
"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name.
This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable.
If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL
(with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed).

Also, channels are now stored in a profile
(/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels).  One advantage of
this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives
an undesirable update).

f2467eb6a0 On Linux, pretend we're building on Linux 2.6
Setting the UNAME26 personality causes "uname" to return "2.6.x",
regardless of the kernel version.  This improves determinism in
a few misbehaved packages.

If we don't follow redirects, we might think that MANIFEST.bz2 exists
just because the HEAD request succeeds on the redirector URI.

5144abe5b6 Add an option "--exclude" to filter dependencies in "nix-build --run-env"
Sometimes when doing "nix-build --run-env" you don't want all
dependencies to be built.  For instance, if we want to do "--run-env"
on the "build" attribute in Hydra's release.nix (to get Hydra's build
environment), we don't want its "tarball" dependency to be built.  So
we can do:

  $ nix-build --run-env release.nix -A build --exclude 'hydra-tarball'

This will skip the dependency whose name matches the "hydra-tarball"
regular expression.  The "--exclude" option can be repeated any number
of times.

480dda0e42 Delete non-directory valid paths right away
It's unlikely that rename() is faster than unlink() on a regular file
or symlink, so don't bother.

117670be57 Make the garbage collector more concurrent
Make the garbage collector more concurrent by deleting valid paths
outside the region where we're holding the global GC lock.  This
should greatly reduce the time during which new builds are blocked,
since the deletion accounts for the vast majority of the time spent in
the GC.

To ensure that this is safe, the valid paths are invalidated and
renamed to some arbitrary path while we're holding the lock.  This
ensures that we when we finally delete the path, it's not a (newly)
valid or locked path.
