aa3bc3d5dc Eliminate the substituter mechanism
Substitution is now simply a Store -> Store copy operation, most
typically from BinaryCacheStore to LocalStore.

5761827d5b Show the log tail when a build fails
If --no-build-output is given (which will become the default for the
"nix" command at least), show the last 10 lines of the build output if
the build fails.

4d652875bd Add the pre-build hook.
This hook can be used to set system-specific per-derivation build
settings that don't fit into the derivation model and are too complex or
volatile to be hard-coded into nix. Currently, the pre-build hook can
only add chroot dirs/files through the interface, but it also has full
access to the chroot root.

The specific use case for this is systems where the operating system ABI
is more complex than just the kernel-support system calls. For example,
on OS X there is a set of system-provided frameworks that can reliably
be accessed by any program linked to them, no matter the version the
program is running on. Unfortunately, those frameworks do not
necessarily live in the same locations on each version of OS X, nor do
their dependencies, and thus nix needs to know the specific version of
OS X currently running in order to make those frameworks available. The
pre-build hook is a perfect mechanism for doing just that.

c1f04fae35 Implement a TTL on cached fetchurl/fetchTarball results
This is because we don't want to do HTTP requests on every evaluation,
even though we can prevent a full redownload via the cached ETag. The
default is one hour.

99897f6979 Use chroots for all derivations
If ‘build-use-chroot’ is set to ‘true’, fixed-output derivations are
now also chrooted. However, unlike normal derivations, they don't get
a private network namespace, so they can still access the
network. Also, the use of the ‘__noChroot’ derivation attribute is
no longer allowed.

Setting ‘build-use-chroot’ to ‘relaxed’ gives the old behaviour.

049c0eb49c nix-daemon: Add trusted-users and allowed-users options
‘trusted-users’ is a list of users and groups that have elevated
rights, such as the ability to specify binary caches. It defaults to
‘root’. A typical value would be ‘@wheel’ to specify all users in the
wheel group.

‘allowed-users’ is a list of users and groups that are allowed to
connect to the daemon. It defaults to ‘*’. A typical value would be
‘@users’ to specify the ‘users’ group.

276a40b31f Handle case collisions on case-insensitive systems
When running NixOps under Mac OS X, we need to be able to import store
paths built on Linux into the local Nix store. However, HFS+ is
usually case-insensitive, so if there are directories with file names
that differ only in case, then importing will fail.

The solution is to add a suffix ("~nix~case~hack~<integer>") to
colliding files. For instance, if we have a directory containing
xt_CONNMARK.h and xt_connmark.h, then the latter will be renamed to
"xt_connmark.h~nix~case~hack~1". If a store path is dumped as a NAR,
the suffixes are removed. Thus, importing and exporting via a
case-insensitive Nix store is round-tripping. So when NixOps calls
nix-copy-closure to copy the path to a Linux machine, you get the
original file names back.

Closes #119.

9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

64e23d0a38 Add download-via-ssh substituter
This substituter connects to a remote host, runs nix-store --serve
there, and then forwards substituter commands on to the remote host and
sends their results to the calling program. The ssh-substituter-hosts
option can be specified as a list of hosts to try.

This is an initial implementation and, while it works, it has some
limitations:

* Only the first host is used
* There is no caching of query results (all queries are sent to the
  remote machine)
* There is no informative output (such as progress bars)
* Some failure modes may cause unhelpful error messages
* There is no concept of trusted-ssh-substituter-hosts

89e6781cc5 Make function calls show up in stack traces again
Note that adding --show-trace prevents functions calls from being
tail-recursive, so an expression that evaluates without --show-trace
may fail with a stack overflow if --show-trace is given.

936f9d45ba Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)
As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has
its affinity set to a single CPU.  This is because nix-shell connects
to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied.  So
we turn this off for Perl programs.

9b11165aec Disable the copy-from-other-stores substituter
This substituter basically cannot work reliably since we switched to
SQLite, since SQLite databases may need write access to open them even
just for reading (and in WAL mode they always do).

8b8ee53bc7 Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’
The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language
version.  It gets increased every time a language feature is
added/changed/removed.  It's currently 1.

The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version,
e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
