Eelco Dolstra 8ffea0a018 Add 'download-buffer-size' setting
We are piping curl downloads into `unpackTarfileToSink()`, but the
latter is typically slower than the former if you're on a fast
connection. So the download could appear unnecessarily slow. (There is
even a risk that if the Git import is *really* slow for whatever
reason, the TCP connection could time out.)

So let's make the download buffer bigger by default - 64 MiB is big
enough for the Nixpkgs tarball. Perhaps in the future, we could have
an unlimited buffer that spills data to disk beyond a certain
threshold, but that's probably overkill.
