Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’
...
This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like
Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted
caches are ignored.

download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than root
...
This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon)
installations. Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user"
is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.

Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’
...
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g.
$ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false
Note that
$ nix-build ... --option binary-caches ''
does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by
channels will still be used.

Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode
...
AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good
reason why people can't just run the daemon.

nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels
...
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file
<channel-url>/binary-cache-url. The channel unpacker puts these in
its "binary-caches" subdirectory. Thus, the URLS of the binary caches
for the channels added by root appear in
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*. The
binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of
binary caches.
