as discussed in bed3695848
Different names make it easier for the users to notice updates to Nix stable,
and to have Nix stable and unstable simultaneously.
This reverts commit bed3695848.
This commit effectively makes it impossible to upgrade to nixUnstable
with nix-env without mucking about with priorities, as you can't
uninstall the old nix transactionally with the new nix and if you
uninstall the old one first you no longer have nix at your disposal to
install the new one.
This reverts commit 9711aac642.
Main change: glibc: 2.25-x -> 2.26-y, containing security fixes,
and various features and deprecations. Unfortunately, some of the
latter still cause (transitively) a couple hundred newly failing jobs.
I'm not delaying anymore, so that we have the security fix on master.
I mainly patched gcc, llvm and icu, but I can't fix everything...

The configure script calls nix-instantiate, which fails if /nix/var
doesn't exist (e.g. in a sandbox). This caused a bogus Nix::Config
module to be generated, causing issues in Hydra.
The key distinction I'm drawing is that there's a component that deals
with the store of the machine being built, and another component for
the store building it. The inner part of it assumes nothing from the
builder (doesn't need chroot or root powers) so it can run comfortably
inside a Nix build, as well as nixos-rebuild. I have some upcoming work
that will use that to significantly speed up and streamline image builds
for NixOS, especially on virtualized hosts like EC2, but it's also a
reasonable speedup on native hosts.
