Store URL format: file://path

This store allows reading and writing a binary cache stored in path in the local filesystem. If path does not exist, it will be created.

For example, the following builds or downloads nixpkgs#hello into the local store and then copies it to the binary cache in /tmp/binary-cache:

# nix copy --to file:///tmp/binary-cache nixpkgs#hello
