Register flake source trees as GC roots

Browse source 
This ensures that flakes don't get garbage-collected, which is
important to get nix-channel-like behaviour.

For example, running

  $ nix build hydra:

will create a GC root

  ~/.cache/nix/flake-closures/hydra -> /nix/store/xarfiqcwa4w8r4qpz1a769xxs8c3phgn-flake-closure

where the contents/references of the linked file in the store are the
flake source trees used by the 'hydra' flake:

  /nix/store/n6d5f5lkpfjbmkyby0nlg8y1wbkmbc7i-source
  /nix/store/vbkg4zy1qd29fnhflsv9k2j9jnbqd5m2-source
  /nix/store/z46xni7d47s5wk694359mq9ay353ar94-source

Note that this in itself is not enough to allow offline use; the
fetcher for the flakeref (e.g. fetchGit or downloadCached) must not
fail if it cannot fetch the latest version of the file, so long as it
knows a cached version.

Issue #2868.
