regnat 7080321618 Use the fs accessor for readInvalidDerivation
Extend `FSAccessor::readFile` to allow not checking that the path is a
valid one, and rewrite `readInvalidDerivation` using this extended
`readFile`.

Several places in the code use `readInvalidDerivation`, either because
they need to read a derivation that has been written in the store but
not registered yet, or more generally to prevent a deadlock because
`readDerivation` tries to lock the state, so can't be called from a
place where the lock is already held.
However, `readInvalidDerivation` implicitely assumes that the store is a
`LocalFSStore`, which isn't always the case.

The concrete motivation for this is that it's required for `nix copy
--from someBinaryCache` to work, which is tremendously useful for the
tests.
