local-derivation-goal.cc: improve error messages when sandboxing fails

Browse source 
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.
