regnat 3ac9d74eb1 Rework the db schema for derivation outputs
Add a new table for tracking the derivation output mappings.

We used to hijack the `DerivationOutputs` table for that, but (despite its
name), it isn't a really good fit:

- Its entries depend on the drv being a valid path, making it play badly with
  garbage collection and preventing us to copy a drv output without copying
  the whole drv closure too;
- It dosen't guaranty that the output path exists;

By using a different table, we can experiment with a different schema better
suited for tracking the output mappings of CA derivations.
(incidentally, this also fixes #4138)
