5f1891b795 nix-store: make --dump-db take a list of paths to dump 
Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to
dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line,
--dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix
database at once.

With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get
the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible
for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export).

Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new
host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the
store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity
information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix
yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix.

The manual reference was commented out, and the sole reference to this
program other than the configure script. Removed both.

73c2ae43f0 Add --graphml option to the nix-store --query command 
This prints the references graph of the store paths in the graphML
format [1]. The graphML format is supported by several graph tools
such as the Python Networkx library or the Apache Thinkerpop project.

Check requiredSystemFeatures for local builds 
For example, this prevents a "kvm" build on machines that don't have
KVM.

ac22d77fd1 nix-collect-garbage: little doc fix 
This removes confusing documentation. It's better to remove doc than add implementation, because Nix 1.12 will surely have new GC interface anyway.
