daemon: Do not error out when deduplication fails due to ENOSPC.
This solves a problem whereby if /gnu/store/.links had enough entries, ext4's directory index would be full, leading to link(2) returning ENOSPC. * nix/libstore/optimise-store.cc (LocalStore::optimisePath_): Upon ENOSPC from link(2), print a message and return instead of throwing a 'SysError'.
