Nix daemon runs in a service context, usually with systemd.
If the Nix daemon unit adds `[Service] CacheDirectory=nix-daemon`, it should
successfully use `/var/cache/nix-daemon` automatically.
Instead, it uses `/root/.cache` right now, which is really bad.
By default, we add `[Service] CacheDirectory=nix` now which means that
caches are moved into `/var/cache/nix`.
Fixes#634.

We offer full cgroup delegation to our sandbox now, required for running
containers inside the sandbox.
To run systemd-nspawn or containers managers inside the sandbox, there
is a need for one extra ingredient now: control over your own cgroup
subtree inside the sandbox.
If, in addition, you need multiple UIDs, for e.g. rootless usecases, you
need to run with the `uid-range` system feature.
Therefore, when the daemon or Nix runs under the right condition, e.g.
systemd-style delegation of the cgroup subtree while placing the
nix-daemon in a supervisor sub-cgroup, we create a new sub-cgroup for
each build based on the build UID and delegate that sub-cgroup to the
builder's process.
Additionally, `uid-range` always request the `cgroups` feature now, as
`uid-range` builds would probably always benefit from having cgroups
delegated, but the converse is not true.
Inspired from https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11412 with a different
design that does not use function-local statics to derive the root
cgroup.

Users may want to mount a filesystem just for the Nix database, with
the filesystem's parameters specially tuned for sqlite. For example, on
ZFS you might set the recordsize to 64k after changing the database's
page size to 65536.
