Build IFD in the build store when using eval-store.

Previously, IFDs would be built within the eval store, even though one
is typically using `--eval-store` precisely to *avoid* local builds.

Because the resulting Nix expression must be copied back to the eval
store in order to be imported, this requires the eval store to trust
the build store's signatures.

+
+When using `--eval-store`, `import`ing from a derivation will now result in the derivation being built on the build store, i.e. the store specified in the `store` Nix option.
