Eelco Dolstra 1328aa3307 * Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporary
roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots
  while holding a write lock on that file.  The garbage collector
  acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further
  progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary
  roots.
