Daemon: warn when an untrusted user cannot override a setting
In a daemon-based Nix setup, some options cannot be overridden by a
client unless the client's user is considered trusted.

Currently, if an untrusted user tries to override one of those
options, we are silently ignoring it.

This can be pretty confusing in certain situations.

e.g. a user thinks he disabled the sandbox when in reality he did not.

We are now sending a warning message letting know the user some options
have been ignored.

Related to #1761.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
