This applies [hydra PR #432](https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/pull/432)
to the NixOS module in nixpkgs:
```

Only set buildMachinesFiles when nix.buildMachines is defined
```
The following commit from 2016 in hydra removed the `--option
build-use-substitutes` from the hydra-queue-runner service:

Update to reflect BinaryCacheStore changes
BinaryCacheStore no longer implements buildPaths() and ensurePath(),
so we need to use copyPath() / copyClosure().
```
It would be better if the hydra module in NixOS matches the upstream
module.
During the last update, `hydra-notify` was rewritten as a daemon which
listens to postgresql notifications for each build[1]. The module
uses the `hydra-notify.service` unit from upstream's Hydra module and
the VM test ensures that email notifications are sent properly.
Also updated `hydra-init.service` to install `pg_trgm` on a local
database if needed[2].

This was originally removed in d4d0e449d7.
The intent was not to maintain hydra expression at two places.
Nowadays we have enough devs to maintain this despite copy/pasta.
This should encourage more people to use Hydra, which is a really
great piece of software together with Nix.
