1af5d798a4 libstore/globals.cc: Automatically set cores based on cgroup CPU limit
By default, Nix sets the "cores" setting to the number of CPUs which are
physically present on the machine. If cgroups are used to limit the CPU
and memory consumption of a large Nix build, the OOM killer may be
invoked.

For example, consider a GitLab CI pipeline which builds a large software
package. The GitLab runner spawns a container whose CPU is limited to 4
cores and whose memory is limited to 16 GiB. If the underlying machine
has 64 cores, Nix will invoke the build with -j64. In many cases, that
level of parallelism will invoke the OOM killer and the build will
completely fail.

This change sets the default value of "cores" to be
ceil(cpu_quota / cpu_period), with a fallback to
std:🧵:hardware_concurrency() if cgroups v2 is not detected.

c8c6203c2c local-derivation-goal.cc: detect unprivileged_userns_clone failure mode
The workaround for "Some distros patch Linux" mentioned in
local-derivation-goal.cc will not help in the `--option
sandbox-fallback false` case.  To provide the user more helpful
guidance on how to get the sandbox working, let's check to see if the
`/proc` node created by the aforementioned patch is present and
configured in a way that will cause us problems.  If so, give the user
a suggestion for how to troubleshoot the problem.

6fc56318bf local-derivation-goal.cc: add comment re: CLONE_NEWUSER
local-derivation-goal.cc contains a comment stating that "Some distros
patch Linux to not allow unprivileged user namespaces."  Let's give a
pointer to a common version of this patch for those who want more
details about this failure mode.

8d35f387dc local-derivation-goal.cc: warn if failing and /proc/self/ns/user missing
This commit causes nix to `warn()` if sandbox setup has failed and
`/proc/self/ns/user` does not exist.  This is usually a sign that the
kernel was compiled without `CONFIG_USER_NS=y`, which is required for
sandboxing.

90830b1074 local-derivation-goal.cc: warn if failing due to max_user_namespaces==0
This commit uses `warn()` to notify the user if sandbox setup fails
with errno==EPERM and /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces is missing or
zero, since that is at least part of the reason why sandbox setup
failed.

Note that `echo -n 0 > /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces` or
equivalent at boot time has been the recommended mitigation for
several Linux LPE vulnerabilities over the past few years.  Many users
have applied this mitigation and then forgotten that they have done
so.

8ea3a911aa local-derivation-goal.cc: improve error messages when sandboxing fails
The failure modes for nix's sandboxing setup are pretty complicated.
When nix is unable to set up the sandbox, let's provide more detail
about what went wrong.  Specifically:

* Make sure the error message includes the word "sandbox" so the user
  knows that the failure was related to sandboxing.

* If `--option sandbox-fallback false` was provided, and removing it
  would have allowed further attempts to make progress, let the user
  know.
