John Ericson 523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

Alex Wied 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.

Adam Joseph 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.

Adam Joseph 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.

Adam Joseph 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.
