    gnu: linux-container: Make it more suitable for derivation-building.
    
    * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): "/dev/pts" and
      "/dev/ptmx" are no longer bind-mounted from the host so that new instances
      can be created in the container (technically this just gets rid of the
      comments). Also, the tmpfs mounted over the chroot directory now inherits
      the chroot directory's permissions (p11-kit has a test that assumes that 
the
      root directory is not writable for the current user, and tmpfs is by 
default
      1777 when created). Also, use MS_REC to make all mounts in the container
      private, like the daemon currently does.
      (call-with-container): remove use-output. Unnecessary for two separate
      reasons: a directory to hold the output in can always be bind-mounted and
      still be written to, and I plan on using run-container anyway so that
      multiple PIDs can be waited on at once.
    
    * guix/build/syscalls.scm (MS_REC): new variable.
