Raito Bezarius 092064db4c libstore/build: allow preferLocalBuild = true to bypass max-jobs = 0
When `max-jobs = 0`, our async semaphores have null capacity and
therefore no slot token can be acquired.

In addition, a derivation with `preferLocalBuild = true` with `max-jobs
= 0` which is not a built-in derivation is not considered suitable for
being possible to build.

Our documentation in `max-jobs` writes:

> `0` is useful when using remote builders to prevent any local builds
(except for preferLocalBuild derivation attribute which executes locally
regardless).

A valid interpretation is that `preferLocalBuild` derivations (all of
them) will always execute even if `max-jobs = 0`.

This CL achieves this promise by enabling `preferLocalBuild = true`
derivations to draw in priority capacity from a `preferLocalBuild`-only
pool and then fall back to the build pool (`maxBuildJobs`).

If there's non-zero max-jobs, we make the `preferLocalBuild`-only pool
empty.

If there's zero max-jobs, we make the `preferLocalBuild`-only pool
non-empty (capacity: 1).

Remark 1: if `max-jobs = 0`, no non-`preferLocalBuild = true`
derivations can be built without a remote builder and `preferLocalBuild
= true` derivations can be built one at a time if `extra-local-jobs` is
not overridden.

Remark 2: if `max-jobs != 0`, no `preferLocalBuild = true` derivations
can bypass capacity limits, i.e. `max-jobs` unless `extra-local-jobs` is
overridden.

Fixes #855.
