daemon: Add '--gc-keep-outputs' and '--gc-keep-derivations'.

* nix/nix-daemon/guix-daemon.cc (GUIX_OPT_GC_KEEP_OUTPUTS,
  GUIX_OPT_GC_KEEP_DERIVATIONS): New macros.
  (options): Add 'gc-keep-outputs' and 'gc-keep-derivations'.
  (string_to_bool): New function.
  (parse_opt): Honor GUIX_OPT_GC_KEEP_DERIVATIONS and
  GUIX_OPT_GC_KEEP_OUTPUTS.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix-daemon): Document --gc-keep-outputs and
  --gc-keep-derivations.

@item --gc-keep-outputs[=yes|no]
Tell whether the garbage collector (GC) must keep outputs of live
derivations.
When set to ``yes'', the GC will keep the outputs of any live derivation
available in the store---the @code{.drv} files. The default is ``no'',
meaning that derivation outputs are kept only if they are GC roots.
@item --gc-keep-derivations[=yes|no]
Tell whether the garbage collector (GC) must keep derivations
corresponding to live outputs.
When set to ``yes'', as is the case by default, the GC keeps
derivations---i.e., @code{.drv} files---as long as at least one of their
outputs is live. This allows users to keep track of the origins of
items in their store. Setting it to ``no'' saves a bit of disk space.
Note that when both @code{--gc-keep-derivations} and
@code{--gc-keep-outputs} are used, the effect is to keep all the build
prerequisites (the sources, compiler, libraries, and other build-time
tools) of live objects in the store, regardless of whether these
prerequisites are live. This is convenient for developers since it
saves rebuilds or downloads.
@item --impersonate-linux-2.6
On Linux-based systems, impersonate Linux 2.6. This means that the
kernel's @code{uname} system call will report 2.6 as the release number.
