Eelco Dolstra 4a91cfd32b Add a global variable ‘inNixShell’
This is primarily useful in Nix expressions that are also intended to
be used by nix-shell.  It allows saying things like:

  buildInputs = [ ... ] ++ (if inNixShell then [ emacs ] else [ ]);

This should not be used in Nixpkgs (since the question of what
constitutes a useful nix-shell environment is very subjective).
