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
```
The creation of the `pg_trgm` extension needs superuser power. So,
this patch makes the extension creation in the Hydra NixOS module when
a local database is used.
If it is not possible to create this extension (remote database for
instance with nosuperuser), the creation of the `pg_trgm` index is
skipped (this index speedup queries on builds.drvpath) and warnings
are emitted:
initialising the Hydra database schema...
WARNING: Can not create extension pg_trgm: permission denied to create extension "pg_trgm"
WARNING: HINT: Temporary provide superuser role to your Hydra Postgresql user and run the script src/sql/upgrade-57.sql
WARNING: The pg_trgm index on builds.drvpath has been skipped (slower complex queries on builds.drvpath)
This allows to keep smooth migrations: the migration process doesn't
require a manual step (but this manual step is recommended on big
remote databases).
The search query uses the LIKE operator which requires a sequential
scan (it can't use the already existing B-tree index). This new
index (trigram) avoids a sequential scan of the builds table when the
LIKE operator is used.
Here is the analyze of a request on the builds table with this index:
explain analyze select * from builds where drvpath like '%k3r71gz0gv16ld8rhcp2bb8gb5w1xc4b%';

Currently, a full store path has to be provided to search in
builds. This patch permits to search jobs with a output path or
derivation hash.
Usecase: we are building Docker images with Hydra. The tag of the
Docker image is the hash of the image output path. This patch would
allow us to find back the build job from the tag of a running
container image.
This plugin expects as inputs to a jobset the following:
- gitlab_status_repo => Name of the repository input pointing to that
status updates should be POST'ed, i.e. the jobset has a git input
"nixexprs": "https://gitlab.example.com/project/nixexprs", in which
case "gitlab_status_repo" would be "nixexprs".
- gitlab_project_id => ID of the project in Gitlab, i.e. in the above
case the ID in gitlab of "nixexprs"
Without this patch running the following on MacOS:
nix-build release.nix -A build.x86_64-linux
results in the following error during the configuration phase (note that Nix
should be configured with a x86_64-linux build machine):

This problem is that the `nix` dependency of hydra is selected from a nixpkgs
set configured with a default `system` parameter,
i.e. `builtin.currentSystem`. This means that the hydra derivation which is
build for and on Linux depends on the nix derivation build for Darwin.
The fix is to select nix from the nixpkgs set configured with a system specified
by the user.
Prior, tests would all fail to build, causing, roughly, the following
error (roughly, because I added some debug log messages :)):

The hydra-queue-runner opens a connection to the builder. If the
builder is 'localhost' it starts `nix-store`, otherwise it starts
'ssh'.
Currently, if the hydra-queue-runner can not start `nix-store` (not in
the PATH for instance), the error message is:
cannot connect to ‘localhost’: error: cannot start ssh: No such file
or directory
This is not useful since ssh is actually not started:/
With this patch the error message is now:
cannot connect to ‘localhost’: error: cannot start nix-store: No such file
or directory
Some time ago the data structure for maintainer descriptions in
`nixpkgs` changed from a simple attr set with maintainer emails as
values to an attribute set where the maintainer' nick is associated to
an attribute set with email, GitHub handle and full name.
Hydra can either parse a Nix list or fetches `shortName` from the
associated attribute set (which is used for `meta.licenses` as each
value in it contains a `shortName`). This behavior needs to be
replicated for maintainers to retrieve the emails for `hydra-notify`.
This change is backwards-compatible since `queryMetaStrings` is still
able to understand lists, so old versions of `nixpkgs` or packages using
the old maintainer data structure remain usable.
