feat(tvix): Support systemd socket activation r/1755
When the nix daemon starts up, first check (using sd_listen_fds) whether
we have been systemd socket-activated. If so, instead of passing the nix
daemon socket path to grpc, start a manual accept(2) loop, passing the
client file descriptors to grpc via AddInsecureChannelFromFd. There's an
open grpc issue at https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/19133 for
building support into grpc to do this automatically, but as of right now
this appears to be the only way to make this happen.

Making this happen, by the way, was a bit of a journey - at one point I
attempted to ServerBuilder's experimental AddExternalConnectionAcceptor
API, and that didn't work either - it appears that the final missing
piece to getting this working was explicitly fcntl(2)ing the client file
descriptors to set O_NONBLOCK before passing them into gRPC. With that
set, this all works inside of the test vm.

Fixes: b/56
