canonicaliseTimestampAndPermissions in its own header/file#9394Conversation
It is not inherently tied to `LocalStore`, it could probably even go in `libnixutil`. Functions not attached to `LocalStore` should not be declared in `local-store.hh`. I am moving it to facilitate experimenting for #9344. If canonicalisation should be done client-side in client-side builds, there wouldn't be a `LocalStore` at all so having to include that header to get this freestanding function is cumbersome and wrong. Perhaps canonicalisation should still be done server-side for security reasons --- I don't mean to make that judgement call now --- but even if so, this freestanding function still isn't connected to `LocalStore` so while less urgent it is still better to move out of this header.
