‘--option verbosity 0’ doesn't actually do anything.

Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like

  exec = "${./my-script} params...";

to evaluate to a path (‘/path/my-script params’), because
anti-quotations are desuged to string concatenation:

  exec = ./my-script + " params...";

By constrast, adding a space at the start would yield a string as
expected:

  exec = " ${./my-script} params...";

Now the first example also evaluates to a string.

Issue #88.

No need to get annoying.

...where <XX> is the first two characters of the derivation.
Otherwise /nix/var/log/nix/drvs may become so large that we run into
all sorts of weird filesystem limits/inefficiences.  For instance,
ext3/ext4 filesystems will barf with "ext4_dx_add_entry:1551:
Directory index full!" once you hit a few million files.

Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting
more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.

This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon)
installations.  Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user"
is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.

So if a path is not garbage solely because it's reachable from a root
due to the gc-keep-outputs or gc-keep-derivations settings, ‘nix-store
-q --roots’ now shows that root.

But this time it's *obviously* correct!  No more segfaults due to
infinite recursions for sure, etc.

Also, move directories to /nix/store/trash instead of renaming them to
/nix/store/bla-gc-<pid>.  Then we can just delete /nix/store/trash at
the end.

This prevents zillions of derivations from being kept, and fixes an
infinite recursion in the garbage collector (due to an obscure cycle
that can occur with fixed-output derivations).

Waiting for the hook to shut down cleanly sometimes seems to lead to
hangs.
