e0204f8d46 Move path info caching from BinaryCacheStore to Store
Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix
path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of
all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s.

This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and
Store::queryReferences().

d0f5719c2a Add "nix copy-sigs" command
This imports signatures from one store into another. E.g.

  $ nix copy-sigs -r /run/current-system -s https://cache.nixos.org/
  imported 595 signatures

9cee600c88 LocalStore: Keep track of ultimately trusted paths
These are content-addressed paths or outputs of locally performed
builds. They are trusted even if they don't have signatures, so "nix
verify-paths" won't complain about them.

b755752f76 Add a ‘verifyStore’ RPC
Hello!

The patch below adds a ‘verifyStore’ RPC with the same signature as the
current LocalStore::verifyStore method.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

a583a2bc59 Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client
On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the
daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode:

$ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real    0m0.974s
user    0m0.875s
sys     0m0.088s

$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real    0m2.118s
user    0m1.463s
sys     0m0.218s

The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved
to a different CPU after every call to the worker.  This patch adds a
hack to lock them to the same CPU.  With this, the overhead of going
through the daemon is very small:

$ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system
real    0m1.074s
user    0m0.809s
sys     0m0.098s

2754a07ead nix-store -q --roots: Respect the gc-keep-outputs/gc-keep-derivations settings
So if a path is not garbage solely because it's reachable from a root
due to the gc-keep-outputs or gc-keep-derivations settings, ‘nix-store
-q --roots’ now shows that root.

ccc52adfb2 Add function queryPathFromHashPart()
To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map
the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store
path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5").  (The binary
cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to
ensure privacy.)  However, doing a search in the Nix store for
/nix/store/<hash>* is expensive since it requires reading the entire
directory.  queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap
database lookup.

09a6321aeb Replace hasSubstitutes() with querySubstitutablePaths()
querySubstitutablePaths() takes a set of paths, so this greatly
reduces daemon <-> client latency.

58ef4d9a95 Add a function queryValidPaths()
queryValidPaths() combines multiple calls to isValidPath() in one.
This matters when using the Nix daemon because it reduces latency.
For instance, on "nix-env -qas \*" it reduces execution time from 5.7s
to 4.7s (which is indistinguishable from the non-daemon case).

4bc4da331a Reserve some disk space for the garbage collector
We can't open a SQLite database if the disk is full.  Since this
prevents the garbage collector from running when it's most needed, we
reserve some dummy space that we can free just before doing a garbage
collection.  This actually revives some old code from the Berkeley DB
days.

Fixes #27.

0d65fc08e2 * Create the Nix daemon socket in a separate directory
(/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket).  This allows access to the Nix daemon
  to be restricted by setting the mode/ownership on that directory as
  desired, e.g.

    $ chmod 770 /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket
    $ chown root.wheel /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket

  to allow only users in the wheel group to use Nix.

  Setting the ownership on a socket is much trickier, since the socket
  must be deleted and recreated every time the daemon is started
  (which would require additional Nix configuration file directives to
  specify the mode/ownership, and wouldn't support arbitrary ACLs),
  some BSD variants appear to ignore permissions on sockets, and it's
  not clear whether the umask is respected on every platform when
  creating sockets.

9e975458b4 * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47). Instead, if we
need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
  (such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly.  This means that
  it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
  nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
  (NIX-95).  Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
  manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
  each other.

  The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
  program to get the substitutes info.  For instance, "nix-env -qas"
  takes a bit longer.

  Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
  local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
  paths.  On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
  on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).

* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).
