John Ericson 99cb85cd37 Revert "If a substitute closure is incomplete, build dependencies, then retry the substituter"
As summarized in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/77#issuecomment-2843228280 the
motivation is that the complicated retry logic this introduced was
making the cleanup task #12628 harder to accomplish. It was not easy to
ascertain just what policy / semantics the extra control-flow was
implementing, in order to figure out a different way to implementing it
either.

After talking to Eelco about it, he decided we could just....get rid of
the feature entirely! It's a bit scary removing a decade+ old feature,
but I think he is right. See the release notes for more explanation.

This reverts commit 299141ecbd.
