* nix-channel: supports users who don't have write permission to the

Browse source 
manifests directory.  In that case, we don't do a nix-pull, so the
  user gets pure source deployment.

  The directory /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/$USER should be
  writable.  (It's created automatically if
  /nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user is writable, e.g. if it has 1777
  permission.)
