[gentoo-catalyst] [PATCH 09/12] catalyst: Run the build sequence in new mount namespace

[Matt Turner]

Catalyst has a lot of code to unmount the bind mounts it's made, and
then more to try harder when something fails. This is important because
if bind mounts still exist within the chroot when clean up happens,
files outside of the chroot on the host system can inadvertently be
deleted. E.g., distfiles, binpkgs, kerncache.

Running the build sequence (the steps that need bind mounts) within a
mount namespace and exiting the mount namespace when finished ensures
that clean up can never accidentally delete files outside the chroot.
