Tuomas Tynkkynen 59086e459c Fix tests using user namespaces on kernels that don't have it

namespaces (e.g. Arch Linux disables them) or disable them via a sysctl
(Debian, Ubuntu).

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
