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.

`build_env` is assumed to be a certain trivial environment, e.g. a
singleton search path.
An environment in general is either empty, contain one or more search
paths separated by a colon.
It seems that the intent was to set the `build_shell` first as a
prepended path in the managed environment then extend via the
`build_env` parts.
This fixes a usecase when the `BUILD_TEST_ENV` is non-trivial.

...and add both a static bash and busybox into the sandbox for building:
$ /nix/store/fz43jxs5qfg5vldzk38y2hmrcl58qk18-busybox-1.36.1/bin/sh -c 'declare -A foo'
/nix/store/fz43jxs5qfg5vldzk38y2hmrcl58qk18-busybox-1.36.1/bin/sh: declare: not found
The reason is that busybox's `sh` doesn't know about `declare` which
means it cannot build derivations with `__structuredAttrs = true;`.

this is only needed on macos, and only for tests that build anything. on
linux it can actually *break* stuff due to unfortunate interactions with
store url parsing, which is required to work for any remote build tests.

So far, the environment used by `command` was completely leaky and the
one used by `nix` was very leaky despite it trying to be a "hermetic"
environment.
This commit moves the hermaticity to `command` and changes its
implementation to be not leak anything.
To achieve this, the following changes were also nessecary:
- the `files` and `snapshot` fixture now use the folder `test-home`
within the tmp_path directory by default, as the `HOME` environment
variable is set to there. (extraction not possible due to dependencies
of command etc also using this directory)
Fixes: #847, #848
