a527bb251a libstore/build: cgroup delegation to sandbox
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.
