libstore/build: use an allowlist approach to syscall filtering

Previously, system call filtering (to prevent builders from storing files with
setuid/setgid permission bits or extended attributes) was performed using a
blocklist. While this looks simple at first, it actually carries significant
security and maintainability risks: after all, the kernel may add new syscalls
to achieve the same functionality one is trying to block, and it can even be
hard to actually add the syscall to the blocklist when building against a C
library that doesn't know about it yet. For a recent demonstration of this
happening in practice to Nix, see the introduction of fchmodat2 [0] [1].

The allowlist approach does not share the same drawback. While it does require
a rather large list of harmless syscalls to be maintained in the codebase,
failing to update this list (and roll out the update to all users) in time has
rather benign effects; at worst, very recent programs that already rely on new
syscalls will fail with an error the same way they would on a slightly older
kernel that doesn't support them yet. Most importantly, no unintended new ways
of performing dangerous operations will be silently allowed.

Another possible drawback is reduced system call performance due to the larger
filter created by the allowlist requiring more computation [2]. However, this
issue has not convincingly been demonstrated yet in practice, for example in
systemd or various browsers. To the contrary, it has been measured that the the
actual filter constructed here has approximately the same overhead as a very
simple filter blocking only one system call.

This commit tries to keep the behavior as close to unchanged as possible. The
system call list is in line with libseccomp 2.5.5 and glibc 2.39, which are the
latest versions at the point of writing. Since libseccomp 2.5.5 is already a
requirement and the distributions shipping this together with older versions of
glibc are mostly not a thing any more, this should not lead to more build
failures any more.

- * Determine the syscall number for `fchmodat2`.
- *
- * On most platforms this is 452. Exceptions can be found on
- * a glibc git checkout via `rg --pcre2 'define __NR_fchmodat2 (?!452)'`.
- *
- * The problem is that glibc 2.39 and libseccomp 2.5.5 are needed to
- * get the syscall number. However, a Lix built against nixpkgs 23.11
- * (glibc 2.38) should still have the issue fixed without depending
- * on the build environment.
- *
- * To achieve that, the macros below try to determine the platform and
- * set the syscall number which is platform-specific, but
- * in most cases 452.
- *
- * TODO: remove this when 23.11 is EOL and the entire (supported) ecosystem
- * is on glibc 2.39.
