24cb65efc3 Make /dev/kvm optional
The daemon now creates /dev deterministically (thanks!).  However, it
expects /dev/kvm to be present.

The patch below restricts that requirement (1) to Linux-based systems,
and (2) to systems where /dev/kvm already exists.

I’m not sure about the way to handle (2).  We could special-case
/dev/kvm and create it (instead of bind-mounting it) in the chroot, so
it’s always available; however, it wouldn’t help much since most likely,
if /dev/kvm missing, then KVM support is missing.

51800e06de Allow recovery from isValidPath RPCs with an invalid path
Currently, clients cannot recover from an isValidPath RPC with an
invalid path parameter because the daemon closes the connection when
that happens.

More precisely:

  1. in performOp, wopIsValidPath case, ‘readStorePath’ raises an
     ‘Error’ exception;

  2. that exception is caught by the handler in ‘processConnection’;

  3. the handler determines errorAllowed == false, and thus exits after
     sending the message.

This last part is fixed by calling ‘startWork’ early on, as in the patch
below.

The same reasoning could be applied to all the RPCs that take one or
more store paths as inputs, but isValidPath is, by definition, likely to
be passed invalid paths in the first place, so it’s important for this
one to allow recovery.

25386e5edc Fix passing meta attribute to buildenv.nix
Since the meta attributes were not sorted, attribute lookup could
fail, leading to package priorities and active flags not working
correctly.

c9f6232304 Correctly detect infinite recursion in function application
If we're evaluating some application ‘v = f x’, we can't store ‘f’
temporarily in ‘v’, because if ‘f x’ refers to ‘v’, it will get ‘f’
rather than an infinite recursion error.

Unfortunately, this breaks the tail call optimisation introduced in
c897bac549.

Fixes #217.

29cde917fe Fix deadlock in SubstitutionGoal
We were relying on SubstitutionGoal's destructor releasing the lock,
but if a goal is a top-level goal, the destructor won't run in a
timely manner since its reference count won't drop to zero.  So
release it explicitly.

Fixes #178.

Fixes #121.  Note that we don't warn about missing $NIX_PATH entries

$NIX_PATH on NixOS, which includes paths like /etc/nixos/nixpkgs for
backward compatibility).
