Allows the Nix daemon to serve store paths purely over Unix domain sockets without requiring the client to have filesystem access to the store directory. This can be useful for VM setups where the host serves paths to the guest via socket. Tests verify socket-only operations work for copying, substitution, and remote building (tested on Linux), with both local and binary cache stores.

| Nix daemon can serve store paths over sockets without filesystem access |
The Nix daemon can now serve store paths purely over Unix domain sockets without
requiring the client to have filesystem access to the store directory. This can be
useful for VM setups where the host serves store paths to the guest via socket,
with the guest having no direct access to the host's /nix/store.
This works for copying paths, substitution, and building.
