Nikolay Amiantov 74107a7867 buildFHSEnv: refactor and simplify, drop buildFHSChrootEnv
This takes another approach at binding FHS directory structure. We
now bind-mount all the root filesystem to directory "/host" in the target tree.
From that we symlink all the directories into the tree if they do not already
exist in FHS structure.

This probably makes `CHROOTENV_EXTRA_BINDS` unnecessary -- its main usecase was
to add bound directories from the host to the sandbox, and we not just symlink
all of them. I plan to get some feedback on its usage and maybe deprecate it.

This also drops old `buildFHSChrootEnv` infrastructure. The main problem with it
is it's very difficult to unmount a recursive-bound directory when mount is not
sandboxed. This problem is a bug even without these changes -- if
you have for example `/home/alice` mounted to somewhere, you wouldn't see
it in `buildFHSChrootEnv` now. With the new directory structure, it's
impossible to use regular bind at all. After some tackling with this I realized
that the fix would be brittle and dangerous (if you don't unmount everything
clearly and proceed to removing the temporary directory, bye-bye fs!). It also
probably doesn't worth it because I haven't heard that someone actually uses it
for a long time, and `buildFHSUserEnv` should cover most cases while being much
more maintainable and safe for the end-user.
