libstore/linux: precompile and cache the seccomp BPF

Browse source 
The growth of the seccomp filter in 127ee1a101
made its compilation time significant (roughly 10 milliseconds have been
measured on one machine). For this reason, it is now precompiled and cached in
the parent process so that this overhead is not hit for every single build. It
is still not optimal when going through the daemon, because compilation still
happens once per client, but it's better than before and doing it only once for
the entire daemon requires excessive crimes with the current architecture.

Fixes: #461
