nix store gc: account for auto-optimised store

Browse source 
Before the change on a system with `auto-optimise-store = true`:

    $ nix store gc --verbose --max 1

deleted all the paths instead of one path (we requested 1 byte limit).

It happens because every file in `auto-optimise-store = true` has at
least 2 links: file itself and a link in /nix/store/.links/ directory.

The change conservatively assumes that any file that has one (as before)
or two links (assume auto-potimise mode) will free space.
