disable redistribution of proprietary software via Hydra #26

WFVM is going to load the nixbld.m-labs.hk Nix store with proprietary crapware from Micro$oft (Win10, Visual Studio), and Hydra distributes it publicly, which goes against the EULAs.

I propose to solve this by adding an attribute on derivations that blocks Hydra downloads.

Ideally, downloads from the M-Labs LAN should still be available, in order to facilitate troubleshooting Windoze-related issues.

Here is an example of the URLs that are fetched from client Nix stores: * https://nixbld.m-labs.hk/nsv6ygbcpm16j9zp6zm62w1z7v0j4p4y.narinfo * https://nixbld.m-labs.hk/nar/nsv6ygbcpm16j9zp6zm62w1z7v0j4p4y-conda-asyncserial Seems to be handled here in Hydra: * https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/blob/master/src/lib/Hydra/View/NARInfo.pm * https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/blob/master/src/lib/Hydra/View/NixNAR.pm

Should be a matter of returning 404 Not Found for both hash.narinfo and /nar/hash*

The error handling is done in the callers here: * https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/blob/0b300e80ad579481fca3663e56356924b8a628e5/src/lib/Hydra/Controller/Root.pm#L350 * https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/blob/0b300e80ad579481fca3663e56356924b8a628e5/src/lib/Hydra/Controller/Root.pm#L309

A simple solution could be to add an empty /nix-support/do-not-distribute file into the derivation outputs. Getting the meta info of the package (with the license) seems more difficult.

I am about to test this before committing but Hydra doesn't build for me right now, neither on 20.03 nor on master. Ok, hydra-2020-06-23 builds successfully for me...

Nitpick: restrict-distribution seems to be a better name than do-not-distribute.

There has been some mess with Hydra recently, the recommended package is now called hydra-unstable and it builds as of 20.03.2176.a84b797b28e.

Is the Windows ISO redistributable? What about the VS bootstrap installer?
We may still have a problem with fetchurl, and the fetchurl store paths are clearly visible e.g. https://nixbld.m-labs.hk/build/69946/nixlog/27

A simple hack - that would work also for fetchurl - would be to start the relevant derivation names with "RESTRICTDIST" :)
e.g. /nix/store/pf3jkpq8nxycv4a3i5z4rnbp1wx512bx-RESTRICTDIST-windows10.iso

RESTRICTDIST in the name is a good idea as that allows the feature for Nix store entries that are not directories.

fetchurl accepts an additional name attribute which I made use of in #30.
