Describe the bug

Using the nix3 copy command to copy to an ssh-ng host will ignore the substitute-on-destination option and instead look at the builders-use-substitutes option, which is very confusing.

Steps To Reproduce

Attempt to use nix copy with substitute-on-destination to an ssh-ng remote destination
Observe that it does not substitute on destination
set --no-substitute-on-destination --builders-use-substitutes
Observe that it now uses substitutes on the remote despite the --no-substitute-on-destination

Expected behavior

substitute-on-destination should be respected for nix copy operations while builders-use-substitutes should be respected for remote builders

`nix --version` output

nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.90.0-lixpre20240505-47fb494

Additional context

This was first encountered in CppNix around a year ago, and this workaround was added in colmena: beb157dcb6

I think this change is already in Lix? 64a269ef73

(I noticed that because I relied on the old behavior :D)
