Implement RemoteStore::queryMissing()

This provides a significant speedup, e.g. 64 s -> 12 s for

  nix-build --dry-run -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-16.03 '<nixpkgs/nixos/tests/misc.nix>' -A test

on a cold local and CloudFront cache.

The alternative is to use lots of concurrent daemon connections but
that seems wasteful.
