PathInput plugin keeps a cache of path evaluations. This cache is simple, and
path is not checked more than once every N seconds, where N=30. The caching is
there to avoid expensive calls to `nix-store --add`.
This change makes the validity period configurable. The main use case is
`api-test.pl` which was implemented wrong for a while, as the invocation of
`hydra-eval-jobset` would return the previous evaluation, claiming there are no
changes. The test has been fixed to check better for a new evaluation.
SQLite isn't properly supported by Hydra for a few years now[1], but
Hydra still depends on it. Apart from a slightly bigger closure this can
cause confusion by users since Hydra picks up SQLite rather than
PostgreSQL by default if HYDRA_DBI isn't configured properly[2]

This adds a `InfluxDBNotification` plugin which is configured as:
```
<influxdb>
url = http://127.0.0.1:8086
db = hydra
</influxdb>
```
which will write a notification for every finished job to the
configured database in InfluxDB looking like:
```
hydra_build_status,cached=false,job=job,jobset=default,project=sample,repo=default,result=success,status=success,system=x86_64-linux build_id="1",build_status=0i,closure_size=584i,duration=0i,main_build_id="1",queued=0i,size=168i 1564156212
```
Prior, tests would all fail to build, causing, roughly, the following

This rewrites the top-level loop of hydra-evaluator in C++. The Perl
stuff is moved into hydra-eval-jobset. (Rewriting the entire evaluator
would be nice but is a bit too much work.) The new version has some
advantages:
* It can run multiple jobset evaluations in parallel.
* It uses PostgreSQL notifications so it doesn't have to poll the
database. So if a jobset is triggered via the web interface or from
a GitHub / Bitbucket webhook, evaluation of the jobset will start
almost instantaneously (assuming the evaluator is not at its
concurrency limit).
* It imposes a timeout on evaluations. So if e.g. hydra-eval-jobset
hangs connecting to a Mercurial server, it will eventually be
killed.
