When doing e.g.
nix-build -A package --keep-failed --option \
builders \
'ssh://mfhydra?remote-store=/home/bosch/store x86_64-linux - 10 4 big-parallel'
this doesn't work properly because this build-setting is ignored.
I changed this behavior by passing the `settings.keepFailed` through the
serve-protocol to remote machines to make sure that I can introspect the
build-directory (which is particularly helpful when I have to look at a
`config.log` from a failed build for instance).
A few versioning mistakes were corrected:
- In 27b5747ca7, Daemon protocol had some
version `>= 0xc` that should have been `>= 0x1c`, or `28` since the
other conditions used decimal.
- In a2b69660a9, legacy SSH gated new CAS
info on version 6, but version 5 in the server. It is now 6
everywhere.
Additionally, legacy ssh was sending over more metadata than the daemon
one was. The daemon now sends that data too.

It adds a new operation, cmdAddToStoreNar, that does the same thing as
the corresponding nix-daemon operation, i.e. call addToStore(). This
replaces cmdImportPaths, which has the major issue that it sends the
NAR first and the store path second, thus requiring us to store the
incoming NAR either in memory or on disk until we decide what to do
with it.
For example, this reduces the memory usage of
$ nix copy --to 'ssh://localhost?remote-store=/tmp/nix' /nix/store/95cwv4q54dc6giaqv6q6p4r02ia2km35-blender-2.79
from 267 MiB to 12 MiB.
Probably fixes#1988.
