* Move root finding from `nix-collect-garbage' to `nix-store --gc'.
  This was necessary becase root finding must be done after
  acquisition of the global GC lock.

  This makes `nix-collect-garbage' obsolete; it is now just a wrapper
  around `nix-store --gc'.

* Automatically remove stale GC roots (i.e., indirect GC roots that
  point to non-existent paths).
