2c1ecf8e81 nix-env -i: Add a flag ‘--remove-all’ / ‘-r’ 
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-env -e '*'’ first, except that it
happens in a single transaction.  Thus, ‘nix-env -i pkgs...’ replaces
the profile with the specified set of packages.

The main motivation is to support declarative package management
(similar to environment.systemPackages in NixOS).  That is, if you
have a specification ‘profile.nix’ like this:

  with import <nixpkgs> {};
  [ thunderbird
    geeqie
    ...
  ]

then after any change to ‘profile.nix’, you can run:

  $ nix-env -f profile.nix -ir

to update the profile to match the specification.  (Without the ‘-r’
flag, if you remove a package from ‘profile.nix’, it won't be removed
from the actual profile.)

Suggested by @zefhemel.

efe4289464 Add an option to limit the log output of builders 
This is mostly useful for Hydra to deal with builders that get stuck
in an infinite loop writing data to stdout/stderr.

dc5f2e7da6 nix-build --run-env: Add a ‘--pure’ flag 
This causes the environment to be (almost) cleared, thus giving a
shell that more closely resembled the actual Nix derivation.

This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like
Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted

Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting

68dcbb187e download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than root 
This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon)
installations.  Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user"
is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.
