1aba0bf0fa nix-store -r: do substitutions in parallel
I.e. when multiple non-derivation arguments are passed to ‘nix-store
-r’ to be substituted, do them in parallel.

2f3f413e91 Support socket-based, on-demand activation of the Nix daemon with systemd
Systemd can start the Nix daemon on demand when the Nix daemon socket
is first accessed.  This is signalled through the LISTEN_FDS
environment variable, so all we need to do is check for that and then
use file descriptor 3 as the listen socket instead of creating one
ourselves.

4bc4da331a Reserve some disk space for the garbage collector
We can't open a SQLite database if the disk is full.  Since this
prevents the garbage collector from running when it's most needed, we
reserve some dummy space that we can free just before doing a garbage
collection.  This actually revives some old code from the Berkeley DB
days.

Fixes #27.

db5b86ef13 * Add an option ‘build-use-substitutes’, which can be set to ‘false’
to disable use of substitutes; i.e., force building from source.
  Fixes Nix/221.

8be1979f1a Remove the --max-links GC option
We don't need this anymore now that current filesystems support more
than 32,000 files in a directory.

bd50c01972 Ensure that Perl processes delete their entry in the temproots directory
By moving the destructor object to libstore.so, it's also run when
download-using-manifests and nix-prefetch-url exit.  This prevents
them from cluttering /nix/var/nix/temproots with stale files.

273b288a7e * importPath() -> importPaths(). Because of buffering of the input
stream it's now necessary for the daemon to process the entire
  sequence of exported paths, rather than letting the client do it.

e0bd307802 * Make the import operation through the daemon much more efficient
(way fewer roundtrips) by allowing the client to send data in bigger
  chunks.

5a1b9ed0aa * Refactoring: move sink/source buffering into separate classes.
* Buffer the HashSink.  This speeds up hashing a bit because it
  prevents lots of calls to the hash update functions (e.g. nix-hash
  went from 9.3s to 8.7s of user time on the closure of my
  /var/run/current-system).

3a48282b06 * Buffer writes in FdSink. This significantly reduces the number of
system calls / context switches when dumping a NAR and in the worker
  protocol.

24f863d86b * When doing "nix-store --add-fixed" without "--recursive" via the Nix
daemon (which is an error), print a nicer error message than
  "Connection reset by peer" or "broken pipe".
* In the daemon, log errors that occur during request parameter
  processing.

af2e53fd48 Include all outputs of derivations in the closure of explicitly-passed derivation paths

a17071fef1 Include <cstring> to ensure that strcpy(), strlen(), and memset() are declared.
An "using namespace std" was added locally in those functions that refer to
names from <cstring>. That is not pretty, but it's a very portable solution,
because strcpy() and friends will be found in both the 'std' and in the global
namespace.

8824d60fe5 * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
  expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
  buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
  much time to make it practical.

9122dcecbb * We can't use string objects in signal handlers because they might
allocate memory, which is verboten in signal handlers.  This caused
  random failures in the test suite on Mac OS X (triggered by the spurious
  SIGPOLL signals on Mac OS X, which should also be fixed).

64519cfd65 * Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations.  I.e. they now produce
  the same store path:

  $ nix-store --add x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  the latter being the same as the path that a derivation

    derivation {
      name = "x";
      outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
      outputHashMode = "recursive";
      outputHash = "...";
      ...
    };

  produces.

  This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations.
  Fortunately they are quite rare.  The most common use is fetchsvn
  calls with SHA-256 hashes.  (There are a handful of those is
  Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.)
  
* Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).

3f4ed681c2 * Prevent zombies. Previous the SIGCHLD handler only reaped one
zombie at a time, so if multiple children died before the handler
  got to run, some of them would not be cleaned up.

72034ab35d * sockaddr_un doesn't allow path names of more than 108 characters.
This isn't usually a problem, except that it causes tests to fail
  when performed in a directory with a very long path name.  So chdir
  to the socket directory and use a relative path name.
