When doing e.g.
nix-build -A package --keep-failed --option \
builders \
'ssh://mfhydra?remote-store=/home/bosch/store x86_64-linux - 10 4 big-parallel'
this doesn't work properly because this build-setting is ignored.
I changed this behavior by passing the `settings.keepFailed` through the
serve-protocol to remote machines to make sure that I can introspect the
build-directory (which is particularly helpful when I have to look at a
`config.log` from a failed build for instance).
Make ca-derivations require a `ca-derivations` machine feature, and
ca-aware builders expose it.
That way, a network of builders can mix ca-aware and non-ca-aware
machines, and the scheduler will send them in the right place.
This seems more correct. It also means one can specify the features a
store should support with --store and remote-store=..., which is useful.
I use this to clean up the build remotes test.
Disable various tests if the kernel doesn't support unprivileged user
namespaces (e.g. Arch Linux disables them) or disable them via a sysctl
(Debian, Ubuntu).

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
