SSH runs the command provided to it in the user's login shell. That's a feature and is impossible to bypass (trust me, we tried). The previous implementation of `echo started; nix-store --stdio` broke with shells that treat `;` differently, e.g. nushell, which eats the output of everything but the last command in a chain. In the more general case, this means that a sufficiently weird shell can do _anything_ it wants to the command we pass via SSH, so we're forced to rely on as little functionality as possible. The subset we're hereby settling on is just "running `bash` runs bash". We then run bash, in non-interactive mode, which gives us a somewhat consistent environment do to things in. This whole thing is extremely cursed, but fixing it _correctly_ requires pretty much entirely rewriting how remote stores work, and I'm not doing that right now. Fixes #805.
