This allows overriding the priority of substituters, e.g.
$ nix-store --store ~/my-nix/ -r /nix/store/df3m4da96d84ljzxx4mygfshm1p0r2n3-geeqie-1.4 \
--substituters 'http://cache.nixos.org?priority=100 daemon?priority=10'
Fixes #3264.

This exploits the hermetic nature of flake evaluation to speed up
repeated evaluations of a flake output attribute.
For example (doing 'nix build' on an already present package):
$ time nix build nixpkgs:firefox
real 0m1.497s
user 0m1.160s
sys 0m0.139s
$ time nix build nixpkgs:firefox
real 0m0.052s
user 0m0.038s
sys 0m0.007s
The cache is ~/.cache/nix/eval-cache-v1.sqlite, which has entries like
INSERT INTO Attributes VALUES(
X'92a907d4efe933af2a46959b082cdff176aa5bfeb47a98fabd234809a67ab195',
'packages.firefox',

'/nix/store/pbalzf8x19hckr8cwdv62rd6g0lqgc38-firefox-67.0.drv /nix/store/g6q0gx0v6xvdnizp8lrcw7c4gdkzana0-firefox-67.0 out');
where the hash 92a9... is a fingerprint over the flake store path and
the contents of the lockfile. Because flakes are evaluated in pure
mode, this uniquely identifies the evaluation result.

Note that this only requires headers from boost so it doesn't add a
runtime dependency.
Also, use Nixpkgs 18.03.

This re-implements the binary cache database in C++, allowing it to be
used by other Store backends, in particular the S3 backend.

In particular, this eliminates a bunch of boilerplate code.
