libstore/build: block io_uring
Unfortunately, io_uring is totally opaque to seccomp, and while currently there
are no dangerous operations implemented, there is no guarantee that it remains
this way. This means that io_uring should be blocked entirely to ensure that
the sandbox is future-proof. This has not been observed to cause issues in
practice.
