This solves the error
error: cannot connect to socket at '/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket': Connection refused
on build farm systems that are loaded but operating normally.
I've seen this happen on an M1 mac running a loaded hercules-ci-agent.
Hercules CI uses multiple worker processes, which may connect to
the Nix daemon around the same time. It's not unthinkable that
the Nix daemon listening process isn't scheduled until after 6
workers try to connect, especially on a system under load with
many workers.
Is the increase safe?
The number is the number of connections that the kernel will buffer
while the listening process hasn't `accept`-ed them yet.
It did not - and will not - restrict the total number of daemon
forks that a client can create.
History
The number 5 has remained unchanged since the introduction in
nix-worker with 0130ef88ea in 2006.
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.
Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:
- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
`https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
`https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
the `tarball+` part removed)
Fix#3785

Don’t explicitely give it a constructor, but use aggregate
initialization instead (also prevents having an implicit coertion, which
is probably good here)
Ensures the logger is stopped on exit in legacy commands. Without this,
when using `nix-build --log-format bar` and stopping nix with CTRL+C,
the bar is not cleared from the screen.
