Linus Heckemann 78ac3eb4eb Fix #1762
nix-store --export, nix-store --dump, and nix dump-path would previously
fail silently if writing the data out failed, because
 a) FdSink::write ignored exceptions, and
 b) the commands relied on FdSink's destructor, which ignores
    exceptions, to flush the data out.

This could cause rather opaque issues with installing nixos, because
nix-store --export would happily proceed even if it couldn't write its
data out (e.g. if nix-store --import on the other side of the pipe
failed).

This commit adds tests that expose these issues in the nix-store
commands, and fixes them for all three.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
