Greg Price e40e01c1dd doc: Files in the store have modes 444/555, not 644/755
This line has been this way since it was written, in 9e08f5efe
in 2006.

I think it was just a small mistake then; Eelco's thesis earlier
that year says the permission on each file is set to 0444 or 0555
in a derivation's output as part of the build process.  In any
case I'm pretty sure that's the behavior now.

jakobrs c5a488afc0 Remove the --delete option for --gc
Running `nix-store --gc --delete` will, as of Nix 2.3.3, simply fail
because the --delete option conflicts with the --delete operation.

  $ nix-store --gc --delete
  error: only one operation may be specified
  Try 'nix-store --help' for more information.

Furthermore, it has been broken since at least Nix 0.16 (which was
released sometime in 2010), which means that any scripts which depend
on it should have been broken at least nine years ago. This commit
simply formally removes the option. There should be no actual difference
in behaviour as far as the user is concerned: it errors with the exact
same error message. The manual has been edited to remove any references
to the (now gone) --delete option.

Other information:
* Path for Nix 0.16 used:

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.

Antoine Eiche 73c2ae43f0 Add --graphml option to the nix-store --query command
This prints the references graph of the store paths in the graphML
format [1]. The graphML format is supported by several graph tools
such as the Python Networkx library or the Apache Thinkerpop project.

Rename a few configuration options
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are
pointless. So now you can say

  nix build --no-sandbox

instead of

  nix build --no-build-use-sandbox

Store: Add a method for getting build logs
This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to
get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs
from the binary cache.

Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for
this.
