Add "nix mount-store" command

Browse source 
This mounts an arbitrary Nix store on the specified mount point.

Typical usage:

  $ /nix/store/d0am5d8gwh2kfdcgyxh4y684mb5b2v54-blender-2.79/bin/blender --version
  bash: /nix/store/d0am5d8gwh2kfdcgyxh4y684mb5b2v54-blender-2.79/bin/blender: No such file or directory

  $ nix mount-store /tmp/mp --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nars

  $ unshare -m -r

  $ mount -o bind /tmp/mp /nix/store

  $ /nix/store/d0am5d8gwh2kfdcgyxh4y684mb5b2v54-blender-2.79/bin/blender --version

One application is to replace the current remote store file access in
hydra-server implemented via "nix {cat,ls}-store", which doesn't work
all that well (e.g. it doesn't resolve symlinks properly).

Another application would be on-demand fetching of build inputs on
Hydra build slaves (to speed up builds that don't access their entire
closure). However, that will require a lot more machinery.
