* download-using-manifests: don't check the cryptographic hash of
downloaded files; rather, check the hash of the unpacked store
path.
When the server produces bzipped NAR archives on demand (like Hydra
does), the hash of the file is not known in advance; it's streamed
from the server. Thus the manifest doesn't contain a hash for the
bzipped NAR archive. However, the server does know the hash of the
*uncompressed* NAR archive (the "NarHash" field), since it's stored
in the Nix database (nix-store -q --hash /nix/store/bla). So we use
that instead for checking the integrity of the download.
