When I'm within a Salesforce org, how can I tell if that org is a Scratch Org or not?

Ideally this would be via Apex, but it could be an API call if required.

This would be useful information for the creator of a managed package who may not otherwise know what type of org is running the code.

---

I've had a couple of thoughts on how this might be achieved:

1. Check if the pod/instance that Scratch orgs are created on are separate from the general population of sandbox orgs. I suspect that scratch orgs have dedicated hardware. E.g. a new scratch org I just created is on p0/CS31.


2. Look for describe Metadata that is unique to only scratch orgs.

  @AdrianLarson Those are in the DevHub, aren't they? I don't think they would be reachable from the Scratch org itself in isolation.

The SourceMember sObject is only present in scratch orgs. Its presence would be a sign that you are in a scratch org. The gotcha would be that it is only accessible via the Tooling API and not Apex alone.

  This seems like a great solution and shouldn't be too difficult with an HTTP request from Apex. Especially since we don't need the Remote Site setting anymore.
