Allow shorter syntax for chroot stores
You can now say '--store /tmp/nix' instead of '--store local?root=/tmp/nix'.

Remove the builder-files option
You can now include files via the "builders" option, using the syntax
"@<filename>". Having only one option makes it easier to override
builders completely.

For backward compatibility, the default is "@/etc/nix/machines", or
"@<filename>" for each file name in NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS.

Make the location of the build directory in the sandbox configurable
This is mostly for use in the sandbox tests, since if the Nix store is
under /build, then we can't use /build as the build directory.

Replace $NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS with an option "builder-files"
Also, to unify with hydra-queue-runner, allow it to be a list of
files.

Add an option for specifying remote builders
This is useful for one-off situations where you want to specify a
builder on the command line instead of having to mess with
nix.machines. E.g.

  $ nix-build -A hello --argstr system x86_64-darwin \
    --option builders 'root@macstadium1 x86_64-darwin'

will perform the specified build on "macstadium1".

It also removes the need for a separate nix.machines file since you
can specify builders in nix.conf directly. (In fact nix.machines is
yet another hack that predates the general nix.conf configuration
file, IIRC.)

Note: this option is supported by the daemon for trusted users. The
fact that this allows trusted users to specify paths to SSH keys to
which they don't normally have access is maybe a bit too much trust...

Factor out machines.conf parsing
This allows hydra-queue-runner to use it.
