Eelco Dolstra a9c4f66cfb * Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do
`nix-store --delete'.  But unprivileged users are not allowed to
  ignore liveness.
* `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as
  well.

not be garbage collected when it has to be (not really a problem,
the caller could create a root anyway), or it may be garbage
collected when it shouldn't be (more serious).
