Niklas Hambüchen 82b7f0e840 autoconf: Implement release tarball detection. Fixes #257.
This should finally allow us to address all cases of build errors due to
differences between release tarballs and building from git.

Niklas Hambüchen a96006d97f Get BOOST_LDFLAGS from autoconf, fix Ubuntu 16.04 build.
Our use of boost::coroutine2 depends on -lboost_context,
which in turn depends on `-lboost_thread`, which in turn depends
on `-lboost_system`.

I suspect that this builds on nix only because of low-level hacks
like NIX_LDFLAGS.

This commit passes the proper linker flags, thus fixing bootstrap
builds on non-nix distributions like Ubuntu 16.04.

With these changes, I can build Nix on Ubuntu 16.04 using:

    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/editline-prefix \
      --disable-doc-gen \
      CXX=g++-7 \
      --with-boost=$HOME/boost-prefix \
      EDITLINE_CFLAGS=-I$HOME/editline-prefix/include \
      EDITLINE_LIBS=-leditline \
      LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/editline-prefix/lib
    make

where

* g++-7 comes from gcc-7 from
  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test,
* editline 1.14 from https://github.com/troglobit/editline/releases/tag/1.14.0
	was installed into `$HOME/editline-prefix`
  (because Ubuntu 16.04's `editline` is too old to have the function nix uses),
* boost 1.66 from
	https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
	was installed into $HOME/boost-prefix (because Ubuntu 16.04 only has 1.58)

Niklas Hambüchen 717e821b99 autoconf: Allow overriding CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS from outside.
As is normal for autoconf-based projects.

For example, it is a common use case to do

    ./configure CXXFLAGS=-O0

This did not work for nix until now, because the `CXXFLAGS=` declaration
would unconditionally erase what the user had specified.

The custom `OPTIMIZE` flag is removed, but the default `-O3` is retained;
autoconf would default to `-g -O2` by default otherwise as documented on:

https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node/C-Compiler.html

Niklas Hambüchen 20129bd83d autoconf: Fix AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE being used before AC_PROG_CC.
That was incorrect, because checking the dirent type already requires
a working compiler.

It had the effect that setting e.g. `: ${CFLAGS=""}` before `AC_PROG_CC`
as per `AC_PROG_CC`'s documentation would have no effect, because
`AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE` would automatically set CFLASGS.

(In a followup commit `: ${CFLAGS=""}` will be used, so it's important
to get this working first.)

Niklas Hambüchen 57daa860e8 autoconf: Fix C++17 detection not working on Ubuntu 16.04.
And probably many other distributions.

Until now, ./configure would fail silently printing a warning

    ./configure: line 4621: AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17: command not found

and then continuing, later failing with a C++ #error saying that some C++11
feature isn't supported (it didn't even get to the C++17 features).

This is because older distributions don't come with the
`AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17` m4 macro.

This commit vendors that macro accordingly.

Now ./configure complains correctly:

    configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++17 language features is required.

On Ubuntu 16.04, ./configure completes if a newer compiler is used, e.g. with
gcc-7 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test
using:

    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure CXX=g++-7 --disable-doc-gen --with-boost=$(nix-build --no-link '<nixpkgs>' -A boost.dev)

Niklas Hambüchen 1f97b16b1d autoconf: Work around editline not being found on Ubuntu 16.04.
And probably other Linux distributions with long-term support releases.

Also update manual stating what version is needed;
I checked that 1.14 is the oldest version with which current nix compiles,
and added autoconf feature checks for some functions added in that release
that nix uses.

Niklas Hambüchen 00a450026f autoconf: Detect boost, require version, set CXXFLAGS.
This turns previous compiler errors complaining about missing files
into proper ./configure time errors telling the user which version
of boost is required.

Niklas Hambüchen 96cd3d6073 autoconf: Change quotes in description.
The unbalanced single-quotes cause many editor syntax highlighters
to interpret the rest of the file as a string literal, making it easier
to make syntax mistakes in absence of proper highlighting.

Mateusz Piotrowski e8b0efdcc9 Remove some bashisms from configure.ac
"configure.ac" is used to generate "configure", which is supposed to be
run with /bin/sh (as suggested by the shebang line of "configure"). As a
result it is a good idea to remove any /bin/sh-incompatible syntax from
configure.ac. Otherwise, systems that do not use Bash as their /bin/sh
are unable to run "configure" due to syntax errors.

Will Dietz 9dd2b8ac7b use libbrotli directly when available
* Look for both 'brotli' and 'bro' as external command,
  since upstream has renamed it in newer versions.
  If neither are found, current runtime behavior
  is preserved: try to find 'bro' on PATH.
* Limit amount handed to BrotliEncoderCompressStream
  to ensure interrupts are processed in a timely manner.
  Testing shows negligible performance impact.
  (Other compression sinks don't seem to require this)

Add a seccomp filter to prevent creating setuid/setgid binaries
This prevents builders from setting the S_ISUID or S_ISGID bits,
preventing users from using a nixbld* user to create a setuid/setgid
binary to interfere with subsequent builds under the same nixbld* uid.

This is based on aszlig's seccomp code
(47f587700d).
