Garbage collect unused links in /nix/store/.links

Browse source 
Incremental optimisation requires creating links in /nix/store/.links
to all files in the store.  However, this means that if we delete a
store path, no files are actually deleted because links in
/nix/store/.links still exists.  So we need to check /nix/store/.links
for files with a link count of 1 and delete them.
