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().

99851c6f06 Unify "nix verify-paths" and "nix verify-store"
"verify-store" is now simply an "--all" flag to "nix verify". This
flag can be used for any other store path command as well (e.g. "nix
path-info", "nix copy-sigs", ...).

05fbc606fc nix verify-paths: Add ‘--sigs-needed <N>’ flag
This specifies the number of distinct signatures required to consider
each path "trusted".

Also renamed ‘--no-sigs’ to ‘--no-trust’ for the flag that disables
verifying whether a path is trusted (since a path can also be trusted
if it has no signatures, but was built locally).

39a6abc0bc nix verify: Support checking against signatures in other stores
Typical usage is to check local paths using the signatures from a
binary cache:

  $ nix verify-paths -r /run/current-system -s https://cache.nixos.org
  path ‘/nix/store/c1k4zqfb74wba5sn4yflb044gvap0x6k-nixos-system-mandark-16.03.git.fc2d7a5M’ is untrusted
  ...
  checked 844 paths, 119 untrusted

4f34c40398 Add "nix verify-store" command
Like "nix-store --verify --check-contents", but with the same
advantages as "nix verify-paths".

784ee35c80 Add "nix verify-paths" command
Unlike "nix-store --verify-path", this command verifies signatures in
addition to store path contents, is multi-threaded (especially useful
when verifying binary caches), and has a progress indicator.

Example use:

$ nix verify-paths --store https://cache.nixos.org -r $(type -p thunderbird)
...
[17/132 checked] checking ‘/nix/store/rawakphadqrqxr6zri2rmnxh03gqkrl3-autogen-5.18.6’
