Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’

Browse source 
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store
paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available.

Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a
very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old
(corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available.  So
repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like
Glibc.

<refsection><title>Description</title>
<para>The operation <option>--repair-path</option> attempts to
“repair” the specified paths by redownloading them using the available
substituters. If no substitutes are available, then repair is not
possible.</para>
<warning><para>During repair, there is a very small time window during
which the old path (if it exists) is moved out of the way and replaced
with the new path. If repair is interrupted in between, then the
system may be left in a broken state (e.g., if the path contains a
critical system component like the GNU C Library).</para></warning>
