When not using sandboxing, /usr/share/git-core/templates may leak into the
nix build through the libgit2 hardcoded default template search path. We now
explictly set the templatedir to avoid this problem.
See https://github.com/bennofs/nix-index/issues/2#issuecomment-296268983 for
an example case of nondeterminism.

for the cargo commit which deprecated the registry.index key, and
implements this as a replacement. This gets rid of the error message
warning: custom registry support via the `registry.index` configuration is being removed, this functionality will not work in the future
1. When multiple versions of the same package are required
$revs is an array.
2. When cargo fetch is run it usually doesn't need a network
connection. But when it does SSL_CERT_FILE isn't set.
The fetch-cargo-deps script is written in bash syntax, but it
erroneously ran under the /bin/sh interpreter.
This wasn't noticed because /bin/sh is actually bash in NixOS, but on
some other systems this is not true.
Instead, discover it automatically when building the package.
This makes `buildRustPackage` more future-proof with respect to changes
in how `cargo` generates the hash.
Also, it fixes broken builds in i686 because apparently, cargo generates
a different registry index hash in this architecture (compared to
x86-64).
This makes buildRustPackage portable to non-Linux platforms.
Additionally, now we also save the `Cargo.lock` file into the fetch output, so
that we don't have to run $cargoUpdateHook again just before building.
It turns out that `cargo`, with respect to registry dependencies, was
ignoring the package versions locked in `Cargo.lock` because we changed
the registry index URL.
Therefore, every time `rustRegistry` would be updated, we'd always try
to use the latest version available for every dependency and as a result
the deps' SHA256 hashes would almost always have to be changed.
To fix this, now we do a string substitution in `Cargo.lock` of the
`crates.io` registry URL with our URL. This should be safe because our
registry is just a copy of the `crates.io` registry at a certain point
in time.
Since now we don't always use the latest version of every dependency,
the build of `cargo` actually started to fail because two of the
dependencies specified in its `Cargo.lock` file have build failures.
To fix the latter problem, I've added a `cargoUpdateHook` variable that
gets ran both when fetching dependencies and just before building the
program. The purpose of `cargoUpdateHook` is to do any ad-hoc updating
of dependencies necessary to get the package to build. The use of the
'--precise' flag is needed so that cargo doesn't try to fetch an even
newer version whenever `rustRegistry` is updated (and therefore have to
change depsSha256 as a consequence).
