This is to properly separate channels from regular jobs and also make
sure that we can always iterate on them, no matter whether the build has
failed. The reason why we were not able to do this until now was because
we were iterating on the build products, and whenever some constituent
of a channel job has failed, we didn't get a build output.
So whenever there is a meta.isHydraChannel, we can now properly
distinguish it from the other jobs.
I still don't have any clue, why "make -C src/sql update-dbix" without
*any* modifications tries to create additional schema definitions. But
I've checked the md5sums of the existing schema definitions and they
don't seem to match, so it seems that they already have been tampered
with.

Hydra-queue-runner now no longer polls the queue periodically, but
instead sleeps until it receives a notification from PostgreSQL about
a change to the queue (build added, build cancelled or build
restarted).
Also, for the "build added" case, we now only check for builds with an
ID greater than the previous greatest ID. This is much more efficient
if the queue is large.
This removes the need for Nix's build-remote.pl.
Build logs are now written to $HYDRA_DATA/build-logs because
hydra-queue-runner doesn't have write permission to /nix/var/log.
These give warnings in Perl >= 5.18:

All successful, non-garbage-collected builds in the evaluation are
passed in a attribute set. So if you declare a Hydra input named
‘foo’ of type ‘eval’, you get a set with members ‘foo.<jobname>’. For
instance, if you passed a Nixpkgs eval as an input named ‘nixpkgs’,
then you could get the Firefox build for x86_64-linux as
‘nixpkgs.firefox.x86_64-linux’.
Inputs of type ‘eval’ can be specified in three ways:
* As the number of the evaluation.
* As a jobset identifier (‘<project>:<jobset>’), which will yield the
latest finished evaluation of that jobset. Note that there is no
guarantee that any job in that evaluation has succeeded, so it might
not be very useful.
* As a job identifier (‘<project>:<jobset>:<job>’), which will yield
the latest finished evaluation of that jobset in which <job>
succeeded. In conjunction with aggregate jobs, this allows you to
make sure that the evaluation contains the desired builds.
