pkgs/build-game: Add preliminary sandbox hook

This is basically to make sure various games can't write to whatever
they want in the file system, so it's not a complete sandboxing
solution.

Currently there's a drawback in that we can't easily determine the
runtime dependencies while building a particular game, so we need to
recursively dig through all referenced store paths to look them up.

A better solution for this would be to gather the build time reference
graph prior to building so that we can limit searching for these
references within only the actual build outputs instead of churning
through all inputs.

In addition to that, we currently mount the namespaced root file system
on top of /tmp, which makes the real /tmp unavailable to us. While in
theory this shouldn't be a problem, it actually turns out it is indeed a
problem if the application wants to connect to the X server socket,
which is at something like /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 for display :0.

Apart from these drawbacks we have a working solution for simple
applications (not games, because they usually require X), which now get
its own chroot with only the paths accessible that are strictly
necessary.
