* Add an API function exportPaths() that provides the functionality of

  ‘nix-store --export’.
* Add a Perl module that provides the functionality of
  ‘nix-copy-closure --to’.  This is used by build-remote.pl so it no
  longer needs to start a separate nix-copy-closure process.  Also, it
  uses the Perl API to do the export, so it doesn't need to start a
  separate nix-store process either.  As a result, nix-copy-closure
  and build-remote.pl should no longer fail on very large closures due
  to an "Argument list too long" error.  (Note that having very many
  dependencies in a single derivation can still fail because the
  environment can become too large.  Can't be helped though.)
