When using Hydra to build machine configurations, you'll often see
"nixosConfigurations.foo" five times, i.e. for each build step being
run. This isn't very helpful I think because in such a case, a single
build step can also be compiling the Linux kernel.
This change also fetches the `drvpath` and `type` from the `buildsteps`
relation. We're already joining it, so this doesn't make much difference
(confirmed via query logging that this doesn't cause extra SQL queries).
Unfortunately build steps don't have a human readable name, so I'm
deriving it from the drvpath by stripping away the hash (assuming that
it'll never contain a `-` and that `/nix/store/` is used as prefix). I
decided against using the Nix bindings for that to avoid too much
overhead due to store operations for each build step.
This removes the "busy", "locker" and "logfile" columns, which are no
longer used by the queue runner. The "Running builds" page now only
shows builds that have an active build step.
The catalyst-action-rest branch from shlevy/hydra was an exploration of
using Catalyst::Action::REST to create a JSON API for hydra. This commit
merges in the best bits from that experiment, with the goal that further
API endpoints can be added incrementally.
In addition to migrating more endpoints, there is potential for
improvement in what's already been done:
* The web interface can be updated to use the same non-GET endpoints as
the JSON interface (using x-tunneled-method) instead of having a
separate endpoint
* The web rendering should use the $c->stash->{resource} data structure
where applicable rather than putting the same data in two places in
the stash
* Which columns to render for each endpoint is a completely debatable
question
* Hydra::Component::ToJSON should turn has_many relations that have
strings as their primary keys into objects instead of arrays

* Store the system type in the BuildSteps table.
* Don't query the queue size when serving static pages. This prevents
two unnecessary database queries per request.
