Fixes#838.
xattrs were historically disabled in 2017, since then, NFS v4.2 gained
support for xattrs and almost all filesystems support xattrs. In
addition, moving the build directory to a xattrs-supporting filesystem
is always an option. Programs may exploit xattrs (including ACLs) during
their build process and testing phase, to better serve these programs,
we will remove this limitation.
Lix will use POSIX ACLs for its UNIX domain sockets in the future and be
one of these programs which will run tests making use of xattrs, while
not writing any xattrs in the derivation outputs themselves.
xattrs are still scrubbed from derivation outputs so it is not possible
to obtain an advantage by writing a security-related xattr to a well
chosen file.
Tests were added to test these scenarios on Linux. Darwin is carefully
excluded because of #1008 and #1090, solving that is welcome. In the
meantime, they are marked xfail.

When --check is ran with no output, this is seen as having *SOME*
invalid outputs, actually, ALL of them are invalid here.
Instead of reporting a confusing error, let's consider ALL of outputs
being invalid to be no output at all available and advise the user to
rerun the build without --check.
If there's *some* (>0) invalid outputs, let's print them exactly to give
a chance to the user to remediate this.
Fixes#485.

- test_check used an old version of an error message
- test_good2 did not build an unspecified dependency
- test_attribute_selection used a fixed drv path. we
can't keep this with the current setup because the
drv `system` makes the drv hash platform-dependent
