Set an ACL on the named pipe to allow the well-known group EVERYONE
to read and write to the IPC server's named pipe. In the event that
the daemon was started with elevation, allow non-elevated clients
to communicate with the daemon.

Add `command_len` argument to the Simple IPC API.
In my original Simple IPC API, I assumed that the request would always
be a null-terminated string of text characters. The `command`
argument was just a `const char *`.
I found a caller that would like to pass a binary command to the
daemon, so I am amending the Simple IPC API to receive `const char
*command, size_t command_len` arguments.
I considered changing the `command` argument to be a `void *`, but the
IPC layer simply passes it to the pkt-line layer which takes a `const
char *`, so to avoid confusion I left it as is.
Note, the response side has always been a `struct strbuf` which
includes the buffer and length, so we already support returning a
binary answer. (Yes, it feels a little weird returning a binary
buffer in a `strbuf`, but it works.)

Simple IPC always requires threads (in addition to various
platform-specific IPC support). Fix the ifdefs in the Makefile
to define SUPPORTS_SIMPLE_IPC when appropriate.
Previously, the Unix version of the code would only verify that
Unix domain sockets were available.
