This is just C++ changes without any Perl / Frontend / SQL Schema
changes.
The idea is that it should be possible to redeploy Hydra with these
chnages with (a) no schema migration and also (b) no regressions. We
should be able to much more safely deploy these to a staging server and
then production `hydra.nixos.org`.

Periodically, I have seen tests fail because of out of order queue runner behavior:
checking the queue for builds > 0...
loading build 1 (tests:basic:empty_dir)
aborting unsupported build step '...-empty-dir.drv' (type 'x86_64-linux')
marking build 1 as failed
adding new machine ‘localhost’
This patch should prevent the dispatcher from running before any machines are
made available.
Previously, the build ID would never flow through channels which
exited.
This patch tracks the buildOne state as part of State and exits avoids
waiting forever for new work.
The code around buildOnly is a bit rough, making this a bit weird to
implement but since it is only used for testing the value of improving
it on its own is a bit questionable.
If we don't see machine that supports a build step for
'max_unsupported_time' seconds, the step is aborted. The default is 0,
which is appropriate for Hydra installations that don't provision
missing machines dynamically.
(cherry picked from commit f5cdbfe21d)
In a NixOS container, cmdBuildDerivation doesn't work because we're
not privileged. But we also don't need it because the store already
has the derivation.
Also, don't copy from/to the store since this gives errors about
missing signatures.
It now receives notifications about started/finished builds/steps via
PostgreSQL. This gets rid of the (substantial) overhead of starting
hydra-notify for every event. It also allows other programs (even on
other machines) to listen to Hydra notifications.
Setting
xxx-jobset-repeats = patchelf:master:2
will cause Hydra to perform every build step in the specified jobset 2
additional times (i.e. 3 times in total). Non-determinism is not fatal
unless the derivation has the attribute "isDeterministic = true"; we
just note the lack of determinism in the Hydra database. This will
allow us to get stats about the (lack of) reproducibility of all of
Nixpkgs.
