Improve nix-store --delete failure message

Browse source 
On several occasions I've found myself confused when trying to delete
a store path, because I am told it's still alive, but
nix-store --query --roots doesn't show anything.  Let's save future
users this confusion by mentioning that a path might be alive due to
having referrers, not just roots.

(cherry picked from commit 979a019014569eee7d0071605f6ff500b544f6ac)
