libstore: restrict curl protocols
previously it was possible to fetchurl a dict server, or an ldap server,
or an imap server. this is a bit of a problem, both because rare schemes
may not be available on all systems, and because some schemes (e.g. scp)
are inherently insecure in potentially surprising ways we needn't allow.

Only `http://`, `https://`, `ftp://`, `ftps://`, and `file://` urls are supported going forward. This affects `builtins.fetchurl`, `<nix/fetchurl.nix>`, transfers to and from binary caches, and all other uses of the internal file transfer code. Flake inputs using multi-protocol schemas (e.g. `git+ssh`) are not affected as those use external utilities to transfer data. + +The `s3://` scheme is not affected at all by this change and continues to work if S3 support is built into Lix. |
