Spencer Baugh 5f1891b795 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.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
