This reverts commit 194e3374b89b8b2dec6296923877304bdb5c6ae2.
Checking the command line for GC roots means that
$ nix-store --delete $path
will fail because $path is now a root because it's mentioned on the
command line.

For instance, this prevents paths from being deleted that are in use
by a "nix-build --run-env" session.

modules for the running kernel from being garbage-collected. Idem
for /proc/sys/kernel/fbsplash.

such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is
inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other
platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in
/proc/NNN.
The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store
paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that
are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e"
on a running program).
