Drop the Perl-specific CFLAGS

This fixes the Darwin build (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2517380 ).
Hopefully it doesn't break other builds.

Require SQLite >= 3.6.19
...
Nix needs SQLite's foreign key constraint feature, which was
introduced in 3.6.19. Without it, the database won't be cleaned up
correctly when paths are deleted. See
e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2494142 .

Support mandatory system features in the build hook
...
Mandatory features are features that MUST be present in a derivation's
requiredSystemFeatures attribute. One application is performance
testing, where we have a dedicated machine to run performance tests
(and nothing else). Then we would add the label "perf" to the
machine's mandatory features and to the performance testing
derivations.

Handle EPERM when creating a hard link for the chroot
...
There is a race condition when doing parallel builds with chroots and
the immutable bit enabled. One process may call makeImmutable()
before the other has called link(), in which case link() will fail
with EPERM. We could retry or wrap the operation in a lock, but since
this condition is rare and I'm lazy, we just use the existing copy
fallback.
Fixes #9 .

nix-channel improvements
...
"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name.
This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable.
If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL
(with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed).
Also, channels are now stored in a profile
(/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels). One advantage of
this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives
an undesirable update).
