autoconf: Work around editline not being found on Ubuntu 16.04.
...
And probably other Linux distributions with long-term support releases.
Also update manual stating what version is needed;
I checked that 1.14 is the oldest version with which current nix compiles,
and added autoconf feature checks for some functions added in that release
that nix uses.

doc: clarify that optional attrs in a function argument will be ignored unless specified
...
In `args@{ a ? 1 }: /* ... */` the value `a` won't be a part of `args`
unless it's specified when calling the function, the default value will
be ignored in this case.
My personal point of view is that this behavior is a matter of taste, at
least I was pretty sure that unmatched arguments will be a part of
`args@` while debugging some Nix code last week.
I decided to add a warning to the docs which hopefully reduces the
confusion of further Nix developers who thought the same about `args@`.

nix-store: make --dump-db take a list of paths to dump
...
Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to
dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line,
--dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix
database at once.
With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get
the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible
for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export).
Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new
host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the
store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity
information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix
yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix.
