Fix double free in Store::queryPathInfo()

It was holding on to a Value* (i.e. a std::shared_ptr<ValidPathInfo>*)
outside of the pathInfoCache lock, so the std::shared_ptr could be
destroyed between the release of the lock and the decrement of the
std::shared_ptr refcount. This can happen if more than
'path-info-cache-size' paths are added in the meantime, *or* if
clearPathInfoCache() is called. The hydra-queue-runner queue monitor
thread periodically calls the later, so is likely to trigger a crash.

Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/542.
