Port the flags of nix-daemon to nix daemon (#8788)
The new `nix daemon` command didn't accept the same flags that `nix-daemon` did.

* docs(daemon): clarify the daemon trust override flags
* fix: change declaration order
* docs: add examples of nix daemon usage
* Apply suggestions from code review

# Examples
* Run the daemon:
```console
# nix daemon
```
* Run the daemon and listen on standard I/O instead of binding to a UNIX socket:
```console
# nix daemon --stdio
```
* Run the daemon and force all connections to be trusted:
```console
# nix daemon --force-trusted
```
* Run the daemon and force all connections to be untrusted:
```console
# nix daemon --force-untrusted
```
* Run the daemon, listen on standard I/O, and force all connections to use Nix's default trust:
```console
# nix daemon --stdio --default-trust
```
# Description
This command runs the Nix daemon, which is a required component in
multi-user Nix installations. It runs build tasks and other
operations on the Nix store on behalf of non-root users. Usually you
don't run the daemon directly; instead it's managed by a service
management framework such as `systemd` on Linux, or `launchctl` on Darwin.
Note that this daemon does not fork into the background.
