Eelco Dolstra 0fdf4da0e9 Support cryptographically signed binary caches
NAR info files in binary caches can now have a cryptographic signature
that Nix will verify before using the corresponding NAR file.

To create a private/public key pair for signing and verifying a binary
cache, do:

  $ openssl genrsa -out ./cache-key.sec 2048
  $ openssl rsa -in ./cache-key.sec -pubout > ./cache-key.pub

You should also come up with a symbolic name for the key, such as
"cache.example.org-1".  This will be used by clients to look up the
public key.  (It's a good idea to number keys, in case you ever need
to revoke/replace one.)

To create a binary cache signed with the private key:

  $ nix-push --dest /path/to/binary-cache --key ./cache-key.sec --key-name cache.example.org-1

The public key (cache-key.pub) should be distributed to the clients.
They should have a nix.conf should contain something like:

  signed-binary-caches = *
  binary-cache-public-key-cache.example.org-1 = /path/to/cache-key.pub

If all works well, then if Nix fetches something from the signed
binary cache, you will see a message like:

  *** Downloading ‘http://cache.example.org/nar/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’ (signed by ‘cache.example.org-1’) to ‘/nix/store/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j-subversion-1.7.11’...

On the other hand, if the signature is wrong, you get a message like

  NAR info file `http://cache.example.org/7dppcj5sc1nda7l54rjc0g5l1hamj09j.narinfo' has an invalid signature; ignoring

Signatures are implemented as a single line appended to the NAR info
file, which looks like this:

  Signature: 1;cache.example.org-1;HQ9Xzyanq9iV...muQ==

Thus the signature has 3 fields: a version (currently "1"), the ID of
key, and the base64-encoded signature of the SHA-256 hash of the
contents of the NAR info file up to but not including the Signature
line.

Eelco Dolstra 4ba47205c6 Fix test failure on Darwin
Apparently our DBD::SQLite links against /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib,
which is an old version that doesn't respect foreign key constraints.
So manifests/cache.sqlite doesn't get updated properly when a manifest
disappears.  We should fix our DBD::SQLite, but in the meantime this
will fix the test.

Eelco Dolstra 66a3ac6a56 Allow a binary cache to declare that it doesn't support "nix-env -qas"
Querying all substitutable paths via "nix-env -qas" is potentially
hard on a server, since it involves sending thousands of HEAD
requests.  So a binary cache must now have a meta-info file named
"nix-cache-info" that specifies whether the server wants this.  It
also specifies the store prefix so that we don't send useless queries
to a binary cache for a different store prefix.
