Update 'nix-upstream' sub-module; adjust build system, doc, and substituter.

* nix-upstream: Update sub-module.
* daemon.am (libutil_a_SOURCES): Add affinity.cc.
  (libutil_headers): Add affinity.hh.
  (libexec_PROGRAMS, nix_setuid_helper_SOURCES,
  nix_setuid_helper_CPPFLAGS, nix_setuid_helper_LDADD): Remove.
* doc/guix.texi (Setting Up the Daemon): Remove paragraph about
  'nix-setuid-helper'.
* guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (guix-substitute-binary): Exit 0 when
  %CACHE-URL has an HTTP scheme and looking up its host fails.
  Always print a newline to stdout when starting.

@end example
Guix may also be used in a single-user setup, with @command{guix-daemon}
running as an unprivileged user. However, to maximize non-interference
of build processes, the daemon still needs to perform certain operations
that are restricted to @code{root} on GNU/Linux: it should be able to
run build processes in a chroot, and to run them under different UIDs.
To that end, the @command{nix-setuid-helper} program is provided; it is
a small C program (less than 300 lines) that, if it is made setuid
@code{root}, can be executed by the daemon to perform these operations
on its behalf. The @code{root}-owned @file{/etc/nix-setuid.conf} file
is read by @command{nix-setuid-helper}; it should contain exactly two
words: the user name under which the authorized @command{guix-daemon}
runs, and the name of the build users group.
If you are installing Guix as an unprivileged user and do not have the
ability to make @file{nix-setuid-helper} setuid-@code{root}, it is still
If you are installing Guix as an unprivileged user, it is still
possible to run @command{guix-daemon}. However, build processes will
not be isolated from one another, and not from the rest of the system.
Thus, build processes may interfere with each other, and may access
