* Use lchown() instead of chown() in canonicalisePathMetaData(). This
matters when running as root, since then we don't use the setuid helper (which already used lchown()). * Also check for an obscure security problem on platforms that don't have lchown. Then we can't change the ownership of symlinks, which doesn't matter *except* when the containing directory is writable by the owner (which is the case with the top-level Nix store directory).
