* Allow certain operations to succeed even if we don't have write
permission to the Nix store or database. E.g., `nix-env -qa' will work, but `nix-env -qas' won't (the latter needs DB access). The option `--readonly-mode' forces this mode; otherwise, it's only activated when the database cannot be opened.
