5f1891b795 nix-store: make --dump-db take a list of paths to dump
Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to
dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line,
--dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix
database at once.

With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get
the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible
for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export).

Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new
host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the
store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity
information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix
yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix.

73c2ae43f0 Add --graphml option to the nix-store --query command
This prints the references graph of the store paths in the graphML
format [1]. The graphML format is supported by several graph tools
such as the Python Networkx library or the Apache Thinkerpop project.

Rename a few configuration options
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are
pointless. So now you can say

  nix build --no-sandbox

instead of

  nix build --no-build-use-sandbox

Store: Add a method for getting build logs
This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to
get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs
from the binary cache.

Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for
this.
