Eelco Dolstra 9747ea84b4 Remove CPU locking
This was already accidentally disabled in ba87b08. It also no longer
appears to be beneficial, and in fact slow things down, e.g. when
evaluating a NixOS system configuration:

  elapsed time:       median =      3.8170  mean =      3.8202  stddev =      0.0195  min =      3.7894  max =      3.8600  [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=0.36929±0.02513]

Fix a hang in ThreadPool
The worker threads could exit prematurely if they finished processing
all items while the main thread was still adding items. In particular,
this caused hanging nix-store --serve processes in the build farm.

Also, process items from the main thread.

ThreadPool: Improve exception handling
In particular, process() won't return as long as there are active
items. This prevents work item lambdas from referring to stack frames
that no longer exist.

Eelco Dolstra ab3ce1cc13 Improve SIGINT handling in multi-threaded programs
The flag remembering whether an Interrupted exception was thrown is
now thread-local. Thus, all threads will (eventually) throw
Interrupted. Previously, one thread would throw Interrupted, and then
the other threads wouldn't see that they were supposed to quit.

Eelco Dolstra 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)
