Adam Joseph 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.
