9207f94582 Add Store::isTrustedClient()
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`

a5919f4754 Move the default profiles to the user’s home
Rather than using `/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-user/`, put the user
profiles and gcroots under `$XDG_DATA_DIR/nix/{profiles,gcroots}`.

This means that the daemon no longer needs to manage these paths itself
(they are fully handled client-side). In particular, it doesn’t have to
`chown` them anymore (removing one need for root).

This does change the layout of the gc-roots created by nix-env, and is
likely to break some stuff, so I’m not sure how to properly handle that.

5716345adf Add a test ensuring compatibility with an old daemon
This requires adding `nix` to its own closure which is a bit unfortunate,
but as it is optional (the test will be disabled if `OUTER_NIX` is unset) it
shouldn't be too much of an issue.

(Ideally this should go in another derivation so that we can build Nix and run
the test independently, but as the tests are running in the same derivation
as the build it's a bit complicated to do so).

8d4162ff9e Separate auth and logic for the daemon
Before, processConnection wanted to know a user name and user id, and
`nix-daemon --stdio`, when it isn't proxying to an underlying daemon,
would just assume "root" and 0. But `nix-daemon --stdio` (no proxying)
shouldn't make guesses about who holds the other end of its standard
streams.

Now processConnection takes an "auth hook", so `nix-daemon` can provide
the appropriate policy and daemon.cc doesn't need to know or care what
it is.

f6ac888d3e Actually test nix-env with a remote store
The `remote-store` test loads the `user-env` one to test nix-env when
using the daemon, but actually does it incorrectly because every test
starts (in `common.sh`) by resetting the value of `NIX_REMOTE`, meaning
that the `user-env` test will never use the daemon.

Fix this by setting `NIX_REMOTE_` before sourcing `user-env.sh` in the
`remote-store` test, so that `NIX_REMOTE` is correctly set inside the
test

Remove world-writability from per-user directories
'nix-daemon' now creates subdirectories for users when they first
connect.

Fixes #509 (CVE-2019-17365).
Should also fix #3127.

2fad86f361 Remove $NIX_DB_DIR
This variable has no reason to exist, given $NIX_STATE_DIR.

867967265b Remove manifest support
Manifests have been superseded by binary caches for years. This also
gets rid of nix-pull, nix-generate-patches and bsdiff/bspatch.

522ecab9b8 Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode
AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good
reason why people can't just run the daemon.
