If the state SQLite database is configured to use a write-ahead-log, it creates WAL files in the state directory. When the state SQLite database is closed by the `nix-daemon` after builds, those files are removed. When an unprivileged user would like to open _in read only_ that database, they cannot do so because they would need to create those WAL files and they do not have the permission to do so. For this, SQLite offers a "persistent WAL" feature [1] to leave the WAL files around, even after closing the database. This CL enable the persistent WAL mode.
