daemon: Try to execute derivation builders only for matching OS kernels.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/43668>. Previously, guix-daemon would try to run GNU/Hurd executables on GNU/Linux. execve(2) would succeed, but the executable would immediately crash. This change prevents it from attempting to execute "i586-gnu" code on "*-linux", while preserving the binfmt_misc-friendly behavior implemented in commit 7bf2a70a4ffd976d50638d3b9f2ec409763157df. * nix/libstore/build.cc (sameOperatingSystemKernel): New function. (DerivationGoal::runChild): Call 'execve' only when 'sameOperatingSystemKernel' returns true.
