core: add new RestrictNamespaces= unit file setting
This new setting permits restricting whether namespaces may be created and managed by processes started by a unit. It installs a seccomp filter blocking certain invocations of unshare(), clone() and setns(). RestrictNamespaces=no is the default, and does not restrict namespaces in any way. RestrictNamespaces=yes takes away the ability to create or manage any kind of namspace. "RestrictNamespaces=mnt ipc" restricts the creation of namespaces so that only mount and IPC namespaces may be created/managed, but no other kind of namespaces. This setting should be improve security quite a bit as in particular user namespacing was a major source of CVEs in the kernel in the past, and is accessible to unprivileged processes. With this setting the entire attack surface may be removed for system services that do not make use of namespaces.
