Add "nix verify-paths" command
Unlike "nix-store --verify-path", this command verifies signatures in
addition to store path contents, is multi-threaded (especially useful
when verifying binary caches), and has a progress indicator.

Example use:

$ nix verify-paths --store https://cache.nixos.org -r $(type -p thunderbird)
