nix doctor: add warning if client/daemon protocol mismatches
A protocol mismatch can sometimes cause problems when using specific
features with an older daemon. For example:

Nix 2.0 changed the way files are compied to the store.  The daemon is
backwards compatible and can still handle older clients, however a 1.11
nix-daemon isn't forwards compatible.
