* reword documentation on `nix-copy-closure`
- one sentence per line
- be more precise with respect to which Nix stores are being accessed
- make a clear distinction between store paths and store objects
- add links to definitions of terms
- clarify which machine is which
- --to and --from don't take arguments

In particular `local://<path>` and `unix://` (without any path) now
work, and mean the same things as `local` and `daemon`, respectively. We
thus now have the opportunity to desguar `local` and `daemon` early.
This will allow me to make a change to
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9839 requested during review to
desugar those earlier.

1. Hydra currently queries for multiple path infos at once, so let us
make a connection item for that.
2. The minimum of the two versions should always be used, see #9584.
(The issue remains open because the daemon protocol needs to be
likewise updated.)
The JSON format no longer uses the legacy ATerm `r:` prefixing nonsese,
but separate fields.
Progress on #9866

- add links to definitions of terms
- one sentence per line
- be more specific about which store is used for the import
- clearly distinguish store paths and store objects
- make a recommendation to use `nix-copy-closure` for efficient SSH transfers
Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.
The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.
Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

On several occasions I've found myself confused when trying to delete
a store path, because I am told it's still alive, but
nix-store --query --roots doesn't show anything. Let's save future
users this confusion by mentioning that a path might be alive due to
having referrers, not just roots.
