nix hash path, and preperatory refactors

- `nix store add` supports text hashing

  With functional test ensuring it matches `builtins.toFile`.

- Factored-out flags for both commands

- Move all common reusable flags to `libcmd`

  - They are not part of the *definition* of the CLI infra, just a usag
    of it.

  - The `libstore` flag couldn't go in `args.hh` in libutil anyways,
    would be awkward for it to live alone

- Shuffle around `Cmd*` hierarchy so flags for deprecated commands don't
  end up on the new ones
