We’re already allowing `/tmp` anyway, so this should be harmless,
and it fixes a regression in the default configuration caused by
moving the build directories out of `temp-dir`. (For instance, that
broke the Lix `guessOrInventPath.sockets` test.)
Note that removing `/tmp` breaks quite a few builds, so although it may
be a good idea in general it would require work on the Nixpkgs side.

Lix patch: https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3500
In d60c3f7f7c, this was changed to close a
hole in the sandbox. Unfortunately, this was too restrictive such that it
made local port binding fail, thus making derivations that needed
`__darwinAllowLocalNetworking` gain nearly nothing, and thus largely
fail (as the primary use for it is to enable port binding).
This unfortunately does mean that a sandboxed build process can, in
coordination with an actor outside the sandbox, escape the sandbox by
binding a port and connecting to it externally to send data. I do not
see a way around this with my experimentation and understanding of the
(quite undocumented) macOS sandbox profile API. Notably it seems not
possible to use the sandbox to do any of:
- Restrict the remote IP of inbound network requests
- Restrict the address being bound to
As such, the `(local ip "*:*")` here appears to be functionally no
different than `(local ip "localhost:*")` (however it *should* be
different than removing the filter entirely, as that would make it also
apply to non-IP networking). Doing `(allow network-inbound (require-all
(local ip "localhost:*") (remote ip "localhost:*")))` causes listening
to fail.
Note that `network-inbound` implies `network-bind`.
At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands
