Separate auth and logic for the daemon

Browse source 
Before, processConnection wanted to know a user name and user id, and
`nix-daemon --stdio`, when it isn't proxying to an underlying daemon,
would just assume "root" and 0. But `nix-daemon --stdio` (no proxying)
shouldn't make guesses about who holds the other end of its standard
streams.

Now processConnection takes an "auth hook", so `nix-daemon` can provide
the appropriate policy and daemon.cc doesn't need to know or care what
it is.
