Subject: * Get rid of the substitutes database table (NIX-47).  Instead, if we
   need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters   (such
 as download-using-manifests.pl) directly.  This means that   it's no longer
 necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for   nix-channel to clear
 them, which makes those operations much faster   (NIX-95).  Also, we don't
 have to worry about keeping nix-pull   manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests)
 and the database in sync with   each other.

  The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
  program to get the substitutes info.  For instance, "nix-env -qas"
  takes a bit longer.

  Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
  local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
  paths.  On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
  on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).

* Never catch interrupts (the Interrupted exception).
