John Ericson 197feed51d Clean up DerivationOutput, and headers
1. `DerivationOutput` now as the `std::variant` as a base class. And the
   variants are given hierarchical names under `DerivationOutput`.

   In 8e0d0689be @matthewbauer and I
   didn't know a better idiom, and so we made it a field. But this sort
   of "newtype" is anoying for literals downstream.

   Since then we leaned the base class, inherit the constructors trick,
   e.g. used in `DerivedPath`. Switching to use that makes this more
   ergonomic, and consistent.

2. `store-api.hh` and `derivations.hh` are now independent.

   In bcde5456cc I swapped the dependency,
   but I now know it is better to just keep on using incomplete types as
   much as possible for faster compilation and good separation of
   concerns.

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.
