462421d345 Backport libfetchers from the flakes branch
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.

  fetchTree {
    type = "git";
    url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
    ref = "some-branch";
    rev = "abcdef...";
  }

The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.

All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).

This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).

363f37d084 Make the search path lazier with non-fatal errors
Thus, -I / $NIX_PATH entries are now downloaded only when they are
needed for evaluation. An error to download an entry is a non-fatal
warning (just like non-existant paths).

This does change the semantics of builtins.nixPath, which now returns
the original, rather than resulting path. E.g., before we had

  [ { path = "/nix/store/hgm3yxf1lrrwa3z14zpqaj5p9vs0qklk-nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ]

but now

  [ { path = "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.03/nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ]

Fixes #792.

90aec21d76 Fix tarball test
The tarball cache is stored in $HOME, so the test should set up its
own $HOME.
