This is intended to support solbuild being run with rootlesskit in a user namespace (instead of solbuild itself handling namespaces). Signed-off-by: Rune Morling <ermo@serpentos.com>

This commit assumes the a priori existence of the solbuild user/group on the host system and assumes that this user has been set up with subuids and subgids. Building still fails, but now it fails on su authentication in the inner rootlesskit-owned chroot: ``` [BuildDep] Checking build-deps for lzip-1.24-7 [BuildDep] All build deps satisfied ✓ Now starting build package=lzip ✓ Build command="/bin/su build --command='ypkg-build -D /home/build/work /home/build/work/package.yml'" ✓ RootlesskitExec command="/bin/su solbuild -c rootlesskit chroot /var/cache/solbuild/unstable-x86_64/lzip/union /bin/su build --command='ypkg-build -D /home/build/work /home/build/work/package.yml'" su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info [rootlesskit:child ] error: command [chroot /var/cache/solbuild/unstable-x86_64/lzip/union /bin/su build --command=ypkg-build -D /home/build/work /home/build/work/package.yml] exited: exit status 1 [rootlesskit:parent] error: child exited: exit status 1 ✗ Failed to build packages err="Failed to start build of package, reason: exit status 1\n" ``` ... rather than on failing on attempting to even _invoke_ rootlesskit.

Keeping in mind that rootlesskit runs as the host 'solbuild' user, this seems as good as anything; do note that this means that there will be host permission issues that probably need fixing. This commit is for @joebonrichie to work off of Signed-off-by: Rune Morling <ermo@serpentos.com>

Just for the heck of it, this PoC PR disables the native solbuild namespace and networking setup, and calls ypkg via a rootlesskit chroot invocation directly instead of calling fakeroot as the 'build' user in a solbuild managed container.
This commit assumes the a priori existence of the solbuild user/group on the host system and assumes that this user has been set up with subuids and subgids.
NB: The current draft does not support networking (but rootlesskit has facilities for turning it on).
To enable networking support, the build command will need to be something like
rootlesskit --net=slirp4netns --copy-up=/etc --disable-host-loopback ypkg-build (...).This implies that the build executable command could perhaps be set from builder/manager.go (which is where networking is enabled currently).
Current status (as of e128f7e):
