* Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive
  SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations.  I.e. they now produce
  the same store path:

  $ nix-store --add x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  the latter being the same as the path that a derivation

    derivation {
      name = "x";
      outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
      outputHashMode = "recursive";
      outputHash = "...";
      ...
    };

  produces.

  This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations.
  Fortunately they are quite rare.  The most common use is fetchsvn
  calls with SHA-256 hashes.  (There are a handful of those is
  Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.)
  
* Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc).
