nix run: Mount the Nix store in a private namespace
This is a convenience command to allow users who are not privileged to
create /nix/store to use Nix with regular binary caches. For example,

  $ NIX_REMOTE="local?state=$HOME/nix/var&real=/$HOME/nix/store" nix run firefox bashInteractive

will download Firefox and bash from cache.nixos.org, then start a
shell in which $HOME/nix/store is mounted on /nix/store.
