offload: Generalize the machine lock mechanism. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (lock-machine): Add 'hint' parameter. (unlock-machine): Remove 'machine' parameter. (with-machine-lock): Add 'hint' parameter, and pass it down. (process-request): Adjust uses of 'with-machine-lock' to pass the 'bandwidth hint.
offload: Serialize file transfers to build machines. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (machine-lock-file, lock-machine, unlock-machine): New procedures. (with-machine-lock): New macro. (process-request): Wrap 'send-files' and 'retrieve-files' calls in 'with-machine-lock'.
offload: Comment out attempt to set up an lsh gateway. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (open-ssh-gateway): Comment out. (process-request): Remove call to 'open-ssh-gateway' and to 'kill'.
offload: 'remote-pipe' uses the right SSH key. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (remote-pipe): Pass -i when invoking %LSHG-COMMAND.
offload: Take the target machine load into account. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (machine-load, machine-less-loaded?, machine-less-loaded-or-faster?): New procedures. (choose-build-machine): Use 'machine-less-loaded-or-faster?' when sorting. Return the head of MACHINES unless it's loaded is >= 2.
offload: Have 'build-machines' honor its argument. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (build-machines): Honor FILE.
offload: Do not try to retrieve anything upon build failure. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (offload): Add 'log-port' keyword parameter. Handle log display here. Return the result of (close-pipe pipe). (process-request): Adjust 'offload' call site accordingly. Call 'retrieve-files' only when 'offload' returns zero; exit when 'offload' returns non-zero.
Add 'guix offload' as a daemon build hook. * nix/nix-daemon/guix-daemon.cc (GUIX_OPT_NO_BUILD_HOOK): New macro. (options): Add '--no-build-hook'. (parse_opt): Handle it. (main)[HAVE_DAEMON_OFFLOAD_HOOK]: Set 'useBuildHook' by default. Set $NIX_BUILD_HOOK to our offload hook unless otherwise specified. [!HAVE_DAEMON_OFFLOAD_HOOK]: Clear 'useBuildHook'. * pre-inst-env.in: Set and export NIX_BUILD_HOOK. * nix/scripts/offload.in, guix/scripts/offload.scm: New files. * guix/ui.scm (show-guix-help)[internal?]: Add "offload". * config-daemon.ac: Call 'GUIX_CHECK_UNBUFFERED_CBIP'. Instantiate 'nix/scripts/offload'. Set 'BUILD_DAEMON_OFFLOAD' conditional, and optionally define 'HAVE_DEAMON_OFFLOAD_HOOK' cpp macro. * daemon.am (nodist_pkglibexec_SCRIPTS)[BUILD_DAEMON_OFFLOAD]: Add it. * Makefile.am (MODULES)[BUILD_DAEMON_OFFLOAD]: Add 'guix/scripts/offload.scm'.
