Add hashed-mirrors back

Some users have their own hashed-mirrors setup, that is used to mirror
things in addition to what’s available on tarballs.nixos.org. Although
this should be feasable to do with a Binary Cache, it’s not always
easy, since you have to remember what "name" each of the tarballs has.
Continuing to support hashed-mirrors is cheap, so it’s best to leave
support in Nix. Note that NIX_HASHED_MIRRORS is also supported in
Nixpkgs through fetchurl.nix.

Note that this excludes tarballs.nixos.org from the default, as in
\#3689. All of these are available on cache.nixos.org.
