Matthew Kenigsberg d60a8ee8b0 Improve database lock permission error context
Add helpful context when opening the Nix database lock fails due to
permission errors. Instead of just showing "Permission denied", now
provides guidance about possible causes:
- Running as non-root in a single-user Nix installation
- Nix daemon may have crashed
