daemon: Add '--substitute-urls' option.
* nix/nix-daemon/guix-daemon.cc (GUIX_OPT_SUBSTITUTE_URLS): New macro. (GUIX_OPT_NO_BUILD_HOOK, GUIX_OPT_GC_KEEP_OUTPUTS, GUIX_OPT_GC_KEEP_DERIVATIONS): Renumber. (options): Add '--substitute-urls'. (parse_opt): Honor it. (main): Add 'settings.set' call for the default "substitute-urls" value. * guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (daemon-options, find-daemon-option): New procedures. (%cache-url): Define based on the "substitute-urls" daemon option. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix-daemon): Document '--substitute-urls'. (Substitutes): Mention it.
