Nix Packages collection & NixOS

This patch fixes #16614 and #16741. The first issue was caused by the fact that both `/share` and `/share/fish/vendor_completions.d` end in the `pathsToLink`. The `pkgs/build-support/buildenv/builder.pl` creates `/share`, then links `/share/fish` under `/share` and then tries to create the directory `/share/fish/vendor_completions.d` and fails because it already exists. The simplest way to reproduce the issue is to build the next Nix expression: ```nix let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.buildEnv { name = "buildenv-issue"; paths = [ pkgs.fish pkgs.vim ]; pathsToLink = [ "/share" "/share/fish/vendor_completions.d" ]; } ``` The second issue is more critical and was caused by the fact findFiles doesn't recurse deep enough. It stops at first unique directory for the package (e.g., "/share" or even "/") and later the scripts decides it shouldn't link it as it doesn't match pathsToLink (e.g., "/share/fish"), so the result is empty. The test: ```nix let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.buildEnv { name = "buildenv-issue"; paths = [ pkgs.fish pkgs.vim ]; pathsToLink = [ "/share/fish/functions" ]; } ``` or ```nix let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.buildEnv { name = "buildenv-issue"; paths = [ pkgs.vim ]; pathsToLink = [ "/share" ]; } ``` |

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
