Use sandbox fallback when cloning fails in builder

Browse source 
When sandbox-fallback = true (the default), the Nix builder will fall
back to disabled sandbox mode when the kernel doesn’t allow users to
set it up. This prevents hard errors from occuring in tricky places,
especially the initial installer. To restore the previous behavior,
users can set:

  sandbox-fallback = false

in their /etc/nix/nix.conf configuration.
