d51ba43047 Move Callback into its own header
This gets rid of the inclusion of <future> in util.hh, cutting
compilation time by ~20s (CPU time).

Issue #4045.

7f103dcddd Properly filter the stores according to their declared uriSchemes
When opening a store, only try the stores whose `uriSchemes()` include
the current one

5895184df4 Correctly call all the parent contructors of the stores
Using virtual inheritance means that only the default constructors of
the parent classes will be called, which isn't what we want

22afa8fb4d Separate store configs from the implems
Rework the `Store` hierarchy so that there's now one hierarchy for the
store configs and one for the implementations (where each implementation
extends the corresponding config). So a class hierarchy like

```
StoreConfig-------->Store
    |                 |
    v                 v
SubStoreConfig----->SubStore
    |                 |
    v                 v
SubSubStoreConfig-->SubSubStore
```

(with virtual inheritance to prevent DDD).

The advantage of this architecture is that we can now introspect the configuration of a store without having to instantiate the store itself

3b57181f8e Separate the instantiation and initialisation of the stores
Add a new `init()` method to the `Store` class that is supposed to
handle all the effectful initialisation needed to set-up the store.
The constructor should remain side-effect free and just initialize the
c++ data structure.

The goal behind that is that we can create “dummy” instances of each
store to query static properties about it (the parameters it accepts for
example)

7d5bdf8b56 Make the store plugins more introspectable
Directly register the store classes rather than a function to build an
instance of them.
This gives the possibility to introspect static members of the class or
choose different ways of instantiating them.

Add DummyStore (dummy://)
DummyStore does not allow building or adding paths. This is useful for
evaluation tests when you don't want to initialize a "proper" store.
