installer: Handle edge case where the nix-daemon is already running on the system
On a systemd-based Linux distribution: If the user has previously had multi-user Nix installed on the system, removed it and then reinstalled multi-user Nix again the old nix-daemon.service will still be running when `scripts/install-systemd-multi-user.sh` tries to start it which results in nothing being done and the old daemon continuing its run.

When a normal user then tries to use Nix through the daemon the nix binary will fail to connect to the nix-daemon as it does not belong to the currently installed Nix system. See below for steps to reproduce the issue that motivated this change.

$ sh <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

$ sudo rm -rf /etc/nix /nix /root/.nix-profile /root/.nix-defexpr /root/.nix-channels /home/nix-installer/.nix-profile /home/nix-installer/.nix-defexpr /home/nix-installer/.nix-channels ~/.nix-channels ~/.nix-defexpr/ ~/.nix-profile /etc/profile.d/nix.sh.backup-before-nix /etc/profile.d/nix.sh; sed -i '/added by Nix installer$/d' ~/.bash_profile

$ unset NIX_REMOTE

$ sh <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

└$ export NIX_REMOTE=daemon
