+synopsis: "`nix copy` is now several times faster at `querying info about /nix/store/...`"

+We fixed a locking bug that serialized `querying info about /nix/store/...`
+onto just one thread such that it was eating `O(paths to copy * latency)` time
+while setting up to copy paths to s3 and other stores. It is now `nproc` times
+faster.
