2015-12-09daemon: Use deterministic $TMPDIR in chroot.Eelco Dolstra
Rather than using $<host-TMPDIR>/nix-build-<drvname>-<number>, the temporary directory is now always /tmp/nix-build-<drvname>-0.

(Of course, those should still be fixed...) * nix/libstore/build.cc (DerivationGoal)[tmpDirInSandbox]: New field. (DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Initialize 'useChroot' earlier. Compute 'tmpDirInSandbox', and use it when populating 'dirsInChroot'. * doc/guix.texi (Build Environment Setup): Document it. Co-authored-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
