As an optimisation for LocalStore, we read all the store directory entries into
a set. Checking for membership of this set is much faster than a stat syscall.
However for LocalOverlayStore, the lower store directory is expected to contain
a vast number of entries and reading them all can take a very long time.
So instead of enumerating them all upfront, we call pathExists as needed. This
means making stat syscalls for each store path, but the upper layer is expected
to be relatively small compared to the lower store so that should be okay.
Nix does not manage the overlayfs mount point itself, but the correct
functioning of the overlay store does depend on this mount point being set up
correctly. Rather than just assume this is the case, check that the lowerdir
and upperdir options are what we expect them to be. This check is on by
default, but can be disabled if needed.
