This allows `nix copy` to atomically copy a store path and point a
profile to it, without the risk that the store path might be GC'ed in
between. This is useful for instance when deploying a new NixOS system
profile from a remote store.

Tested with:
$ NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE=$(nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A cacert)/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt nix-build --store $(mktemp -d) -E 'import <nix/fetchurl.nix> { url = https://google.com; }'

(cherry picked from commit c1ecf0bee9)
This caused nlohmann/json.hpp to leak into a lot of compilation units,
which is slow (when not using precompiled headers).
Cuts build time from 46m24s to 42m5s (real time with -j24: 2m42s to
2m24s).
These versions are more than 3 years old and were very early in the
existence of CA derivations support (which was and is experimental),
so they're unlikely to still exist in the real world. So let's get rid
of support for them.
