* Don't ignore errors from writing to stderr. That way, when
  nix-store -r (or some other operation) is started via ssh, it will
  at least have a chance of terminating quickly when the connection is
  killed.  Right now it just runs to completion, because it never
  notices that stderr is no longer connected to anything.  Of course
  it would be better if sshd would just send a SIGHUP, but it doesn't
  (https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396).
