ac89bb064a Split up util.{hh,cc}
All OS and IO operations should be moved out, leaving only some misc
portable pure functions.

This is useful to avoid copious CPP when doing things like Windows and
Emscripten ports.

Newly exposed functions to break cycles:

 - `restoreSignals`
 - `updateWindowSize`

296831f641 Move enabled experimental feature to libutil struct
This is needed in subsequent commits to allow the settings and CLI args
infrastructure itself to read this setting.

4e84b532ed On macOS with auto-uid-allocation and sandboxing, use the correct gid
macOS doesn't have user namespacing, so the gid of the builder needs
to be nixbld. The logic got "has sandboxing enabled" confused with
"has user namespaces".

Fixes #7529.

Allow disabling build users by unsetting build-users-group
Unsetting `build-users-group` (without `auto-allocate-uids` enabled)
gives the following error:

```
src/libstore/lock.cc:25: static std::unique_ptr<nix::UserLock> nix::SimpleUserLock::acquire(): Assertion `settings.buildUsersGroup != ""' failed.
```

Fix the logic in `useBuildUsers` and document the default value
for `build-users-group`.

3d23b9d032 SimpleUserLock::getSupplementaryGIDs(): Filter out main gid
This avoids having the user's gid in the supplementary group list as
well.

128910ba23 Separate cgroup support from auto-uid-allocation
The new experimental feature 'cgroups' enables the use of cgroups for
all builds. This allows better containment and enables setting
resource limits and getting some build stats.

2fde7e0108 Split auto UID allocation from cgroups
Cgroups are now only used for derivations that require the uid-range
range feature. This allows auto UID allocation even on systems that
don't have cgroups (like macOS).

Also, make things work on modern systems that use cgroups v2 (where
there is a single hierarchy and no "systemd" controller).

931930feb1 fix(libstore/lock): support users that belong to more than 10 groups
The manpage for `getgrouplist` says:

> If the number of groups of which user is a member is less than or
> equal to *ngroups, then the value *ngroups is returned.
>
> If the user is a member of more than *ngroups groups, then
> getgrouplist() returns -1.  In this case, the value returned in
> *ngroups can be used to resize the buffer passed to a further
> call getgrouplist().

In our original code, however, we allocated a list of size `10` and, if
`getgrouplist` returned `-1` threw an exception. In practice, this
caused the code to fail for any user belonging to more than 10 groups.

While unusual for single-user systems, large companies commonly have a
huge number of POSIX groups users belong to, causing this issue to crop
up and make multi-user Nix unusable in such settings.

The fix is relatively simple, when `getgrouplist` fails, it stores the
real number of GIDs in `ngroups`, so we must resize our list and retry.
Only then, if it errors once more, we can raise an exception.

This should be backported to, at least, 2.9.x.
