100% Reproducible Hydra builds

NixOS already has a very impressive track record in delivering quality
reproducible services via AWS and other cloud platforms. The secret
sauce is NixOps, Nix and most importantly Hydra. Hydra is the heart
and liver that keeps packages cleanly building and circulating to
all our users. Due to high demand, Hydra often becomes a
bottleneck. Our goal is to live off master branch, or at least live as
close to master branch as possible. By living on master our community
responds quickly to arising issues and thus more responsive.

This project lays the foundations of a truly distributed build system.
The goal of this project is to ensure Hydra's builds are 100% reproducible.
