This function returns true or false depending on whether the Nix client
is trusted or not. Mostly relevant when speaking to a remote store with
a daemon.
We include this information in `nix ping store` and `nix doctor`

The code is not local-store-specific, so we should share it with all
stores. More uniform behavior is better, and a less store-specific
functionality is more maintainable.
This fixes a FIXME added in f73d911628 by @edolstra himself.
This fixes the issue that `nix-build`, without experimental feature
'nix-command' enabled, recommends the experimental CLI `nix log` to view
build logs. Now it'll recommend the stable `nix-store -l` CLI instead.

Pause logger before starting SSH connections, and resume it after the
connection is established, so that SSH password prompts are not erased
by the logger's updates.
Otherwise, when running as root and user namespaces are enabled,
opening the slave fails with EPERM.
Fixes "opening pseudoterminal slave: Permission denied" followed by a
hang (https://hydra.nixos.org/build/213104244), and "error: getting
sandbox mount namespace: No such file or directory" (#8072), which
happens when the child fails very quickly and consequently reading
/proc/<child>/ns fails.
This provides a platform-independent way to configure the SSL
certificates file in the Nix daemon. Previously we provided
instructions for overriding the environment variable in launchd, but
that obviously doesn't work with systemd. Now we can just tell users
to add
ssl-cert-file = /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt
to their nix.conf.
Hopefully this fixes "unexpected EOF" failures on macOS
(#3137, #3605, #7242, #7702).
The problem appears to be that under some circumstances, macOS
discards the output written to the slave side of the
pseudoterminal. Hence the parent never sees the "sandbox initialized"
message from the child, even though it succeeded. The conditions are:
* The child finishes very quickly. That's why this bug is likely to
trigger in nix-env tests, since that uses a builtin builder. Adding
a short sleep before the child exits makes the problem go away.
* The parent has closed its duplicate of the slave file
descriptor. This shouldn't matter, since the child has a duplicate
as well, but it does. E.g. moving the close to the bottom of
startBuilder() makes the problem go away. However, that's not a
solution because it would make Nix hang if the child dies before
sending the "sandbox initialized" message.
* The system is under high load. E.g. "make installcheck -j16" makes
the issue pretty reproducible, while it's very rare under "make
installcheck -j1".
As a fix/workaround, we now open the pseudoterminal slave in the
child, rather than the parent. This removes the second condition
(i.e. the parent no longer needs to close the slave fd) and I haven't
been able to reproduce the "unexpected EOF" with this.
I saw this random failure in https://hydra.nixos.org/build/211811692:
error: opening /proc/15307/fd: No such process
while running nix-collect-garbage in a readfile-context.sh. This is
because we're not handling ESRCH errors reading /proc/<pid>/fd. So
just move the read inside the try/catch where we do handle it.
`nix copy` operations did not show progress. This is quite confusing.
Add a `progressSink` which displays the progress during `copyPaths`,
pretty much copied from `copyStorePath`.

The curl download can outlive DrvOutputSubstitutionGoal (if some other
error occurs), so at shutdown setting the promise to an exception will
fail because 'this' is no longer valid in the callback. This can
manifest itself as a segfault, "corrupted double-linked list" or hang.
