Eelco Dolstra 339c142009 * Use optimistic profile locking for nix-env operations like `-i' and
`-u'.  Instead of acquiring an exclusive lock on the profile for the
  entire duration of the operation, we just perform the operation
  optimistically (without an exclusive lock), and check at the end
  whether the profile changed while we were busy (i.e., the symlink
  target changed).  If so, the operation is restarted.  Restarting is
  generally cheap, since the build results are still in the Nix store.
  Most of the time, only the user environment has to be rebuilt.
