/* Determine the set of "live" store paths, given a set of root store
expressions. The live store paths are those that are reachable
from the roots. The roots are reachable by definition. Any path
mentioned in a reachable store expression is also reachable. If a
derivation store expression is reachable, then its successor (if it
exists) if also reachable. It is not an error for store
expressions not to exist (since this can happen on derivation store
expressions, for instance, due to the substitute mechanism), but
successor links are followed even for non-existant derivations. */
