Eelco Dolstra e0204f8d46 Move path info caching from BinaryCacheStore to Store
Caching path info is generally useful. For instance, it speeds up "nix
path-info -rS /run/current-system" (i.e. showing the closure sizes of
all paths in the closure of the current system) from 5.6s to 0.15s.

This also eliminates some APIs like Store::queryDeriver() and
Store::queryReferences().

Eelco Dolstra 1c5f73f529 Add Store::dumpPath() method
This allows applying nix-store --verify-path to binary cache stores:

Eelco Dolstra bcc9943cee importPaths(): Optionally add NARs to binary cache accessor
This enables an optimisation in hydra-queue-runner, preventing a
download of a NAR it just uploaded to the cache when reading files
like hydra-build-products.

Eelco Dolstra c10c61449f Eliminate the "store" global variable
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation.

Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a
wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never
null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a
"T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the
caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not
always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via
std::bind.)

Eelco Dolstra d367b8e787 Add build mode to compute fixed-output derivation hashes
For example,

  $ nix-build --hash -A nix-repl.src

will build the fixed-output derivation nix-repl.src (a fetchFromGitHub
call), but instead of *verifying* the hash given in the Nix
expression, it prints out the resulting hash, and then moves the
result to its content-addressed location in the Nix store. E.g

  build produced path ‘/nix/store/504a4k6zi69dq0yjc0bm12pa65bccxam-nix-repl-8a2f5f0607540ffe56b56d52db544373e1efb980-src’ with sha256 hash ‘0cjablz01i0g9smnavhf86imwx1f9mnh5flax75i615ml71gsr88’

The goal of this is to make all nix-prefetch-* scripts unnecessary: we
can just let Nix run the real thing (i.e., the corresponding fetch*
derivation).

Another example:

  $ nix-build --hash -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; fetchgit { url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git"; sha256 = "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff"; }'
  ...
  git revision is 9e7c1a4bbd
  ...
  build produced path ‘/nix/store/gmsnh9i7x4mb7pyd2ns7n3c9l90jfsi1-nix’ with sha256 hash ‘1188xb621diw89n25rifqg9lxnzpz7nj5bfh4i1y3dnis0dmc0zp’

(Having to specify a fake sha256 hash is a bit annoying...)

Eelco Dolstra 1511aa9f48 Allow remote builds without sending the derivation closure
Previously, to build a derivation remotely, we had to copy the entire
closure of the .drv file to the remote machine, even though we only
need the top-level derivation. This is very wasteful: the closure can
contain thousands of store paths, and in some Hydra use cases, include
source paths that are very large (e.g. Git/Mercurial checkouts).

So now there is a new operation, StoreAPI::buildDerivation(), that
performs a build from an in-memory representation of a derivation
(BasicDerivation) rather than from a on-disk .drv file. The only files
that need to be in the Nix store are the sources of the derivation
(drv.inputSrcs), and the needed output paths of the dependencies (as
described by drv.inputDrvs). "nix-store --serve" exposes this
interface.

Note that this is a privileged operation, because you can construct a
derivation that builds any store path whatsoever. Fixing this will
require changing the hashing scheme (i.e., the output paths should be
computed from the other fields in BasicDerivation, allowing them to be
verified without access to other derivations). However, this would be
quite nice because it would allow .drv-free building (e.g. "nix-env
-i" wouldn't have to write any .drv files to disk).

Fixes #173.

Eelco Dolstra e0def5bc4b Use libsodium instead of OpenSSL for binary cache signing
Sodium's Ed25519 signatures are much shorter than OpenSSL's RSA
signatures. Public keys are also much shorter, so they're now
specified directly in the nix.conf option ‘binary-cache-public-keys’.

The new command ‘nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key’ generates and
prints a public and secret key.

‘--show-progress’ could be re-implemented fairly easily via a
sink/source wrapper class.

Eelco Dolstra d7a92ed4a9 nix-store --serve: Only monitor stdin during builds
Other operations cannot hang indefinitely (except when we're reading
from stdin, in which case we'll notice a client disconnect). But
monitoring works badly during compressed imports, since there the
client can close the connection before we've sent an ack.

Eelco Dolstra 78224cd871 nix-store --serve: Monitor for client disconnects
This is necessary because build-remote.pl now builds via ‘nix-store
--serve’. So if a build hangs without writing to stdout/stderr, and
the client disconnects, then we need to detect that.

Eelco Dolstra a5c6347ff0 build-remote.pl: Use ‘nix-store --serve’ on the remote side
This makes things more efficient (we don't need to use an SSH master
connection, and we only start a single remote process) and gets rid of
locking issues (the remote nix-store process will keep inputs and
outputs locked as long as they're needed).

It also makes it more or less secure to connect directly to the root
account on the build machine, using a forced command
(e.g. ‘command="nix-store --serve --write"’). This bypasses the Nix
daemon and is therefore more efficient.

Also, don't call nix-store to import the output paths.

Eelco Dolstra 04170d06bf nix-copy-closure: Fix race condition
There is a long-standing race condition when copying a closure to a
remote machine, particularly affecting build-remote.pl: the client
first asks the remote machine which paths it already has, then copies
over the missing paths. If the garbage collector kicks in on the
remote machine between the first and second step, the already-present
paths may be deleted. The missing paths may then refer to deleted
paths, causing nix-copy-closure to fail. The client now performs both
steps using a single remote Nix call (using ‘nix-store --serve’),
locking all paths in the closure while querying.

I changed the --serve protocol a bit (getting rid of QueryCommand), so
this breaks the SSH substituter from older versions. But it was marked
experimental anyway.

Fixes #141.
