Eelco Dolstra a9cbd67f90 Add "nix mount-store" command 
This mounts an arbitrary Nix store on the specified mount point.

Typical usage:

  $ /nix/store/d0am5d8gwh2kfdcgyxh4y684mb5b2v54-blender-2.79/bin/blender --version
  bash: /nix/store/d0am5d8gwh2kfdcgyxh4y684mb5b2v54-blender-2.79/bin/blender: No such file or directory

  $ nix mount-store /tmp/mp --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nars

  $ unshare -m -r

  $ mount -o bind /tmp/mp /nix/store

  $ /nix/store/d0am5d8gwh2kfdcgyxh4y684mb5b2v54-blender-2.79/bin/blender --version

One application is to replace the current remote store file access in
hydra-server implemented via "nix {cat,ls}-store", which doesn't work
all that well (e.g. it doesn't resolve symlinks properly).

Another application would be on-demand fetching of build inputs on
Hydra build slaves (to speed up builds that don't access their entire
closure). However, that will require a lot more machinery.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
