Eelco Dolstra e53e5c38d4 Add a setting for configuring the SSL certificates file
This provides a platform-independent way to configure the SSL
certificates file in the Nix daemon. Previously we provided
instructions for overriding the environment variable in launchd, but
that obviously doesn't work with systemd. Now we can just tell users
to add

  ssl-cert-file = /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt

to their nix.conf.

Zhong Jianxin d9b3adca75 launchd: Set NumberOfFiles to 4096
The default maxfiles on macOS 11 and macOS 12 is 256, which is too low
for nix to work:

```
$ launchctl limit maxfiles
	maxfiles    256            unlimited
```

Set NumberOfFiles of nix-daemon to 4096 to avoid `Too many open files`
error.

Apply OS checks to host platform, not build
Previously, the build system used uname(1) output when it wanted to
check the operating system it was being built for, which meant that it
didn't take into-account cross-compilation when the build and host
operating systems were different.

To fix this, instead of consulting uname output, we consult the host
triple, specifically the third "kernel" part.

For "kernel"s with stable ABIs, like Linux or Cygwin, we can use a
simple ifeq to test whether we're compiling for that system, but for
other platforms, like Darwin, FreeBSD, or Solaris, we have to use a
more complicated check to take into account the version numbers at the
end of the "kernel"s.  I couldn't find a way to just strip these
version numbers in GNU Make without shelling out, which would be even
more ugly IMO.  Because these checks differ between kernels, and the
patsubst ones are quite fiddly, I've added variables for each host OS
we might want to check to make them easier to reuse.

Fix the nix-daemon Mac OS SSL CA cert
Mac OS multi-user installations are currently broken because all requests
made by nix-daemon to the binary cache fail with:

```
unable to download ... Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) (77).
```

This change ensures that the nix-daemon knows where to find the SSL CA cert file.

Fixes  and .

Make nix-daemon.plist less fragile on macOS
We're calling `wait4path` on the full, resolved `@bindir@/nix-daemon` path.

That means we're hardcoding something like:

    /bin/wait4path /nix/store/zs9c5xhp3zv9p23qnjxp87nl5injsi1i-nix-2.3/bin/nix-daemon &amp;&amp; /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix-daemon

That seems unnecessarily fragile.

It might be better to wait4path on the path we intend to call.

Matthew Bauer 0847f2f1b3 Copy instead of linking launch agent
On Catalina, the /nix filesystem might not be mounted at start time.
To avoid this service not starting, we need to keep the launch agent
outside of the Nix store. A wait4pid will hold for our /nix dir to be
mounted.

Matthew Bauer 87c604c1f0 Fix launchd program args
launchd has some weird syntx. Apparently the program needs to be in
the ProgramArguments, as Program appears to be ignored.

Matthew Bauer 800fba1037 Use wait4path on org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist
When using a volume, the nix-daemon path may not exist. To avoid this
issue, we must use the wait4path tool. This should solve one of the
issues in multi-user on macOS Catalina.

launchd: enable keepalive for the nix-daemon service
Without this the daemon won't be restarted if the process ever dies, for
example when sending a SIGHUP to reload nix.conf.

Provide a builtin default for $NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE
This is mostly to ensure that when Nix is started on macOS via a
launchd service or sshd (for a remote build), it gets a certificate
bundle.
