Greg Price 26851dd2c2 installer: Set files read-only when copying into store
After installing Nix, I found that all the files and directories
initially copied into the store were writable, with mode 644 or 755:

  drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Dec 31  1969 /nix/store/ddmmzn4ggz1f66lwxjy64n89864yj9w9-nix-2.3.3

The reason is that that's how they were in the unpacked tarball, and
the install-multi-user script used `rsync -p` without doing anything
else to affect the permissions.

The plain `install` script for a single-user install takes care to
do a `chmod -R a-w` on each store path copied.  We could do the same
here with one more command; or we can pass `--chmod` to rsync, to
have it write the files with the desired modes in the first place.

Tested the new `rsync` command on both a Linux machine with a
reasonably-modern rsync (3.1.3) and a Mac with its default, ancient,
rsync 2.6.9, and it works as expected on both.  Thankfully the latter
is just new enough to have `--chmod`, which dates to rsync 2.6.7.

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 https://nixos.org/nix/manual.
