a12e9478e7 When manually scheduling an eval, force re-instantiation of store derivations
Without this, if (failed or aborted) derivations have been
garbage-collected, there is no way to restart them, which is very
annoying. Now we set a forceEval flag in the jobset to cause it to be
re-evaluated even if none of the inputs have changed.

e0b2921ff2 Concurrent hydra-evaluator
This rewrites the top-level loop of hydra-evaluator in C++. The Perl
stuff is moved into hydra-eval-jobset. (Rewriting the entire evaluator
would be nice but is a bit too much work.) The new version has some
advantages:

* It can run multiple jobset evaluations in parallel.

* It uses PostgreSQL notifications so it doesn't have to poll the
  database. So if a jobset is triggered via the web interface or from
  a GitHub / Bitbucket webhook, evaluation of the jobset will start
  almost instantaneously (assuming the evaluator is not at its
  concurrency limit).

* It imposes a timeout on evaluations. So if e.g. hydra-eval-jobset
  hangs connecting to a Mercurial server, it will eventually be
  killed.
