feat(01-05): add systemd-nspawn sandbox for isolated ISO builds

- Create scripts/setup-sandbox.sh to bootstrap Arch base environment
- Add BuildSandbox class for container management and build execution
- Configure sandbox with network isolation, read-only root, 8GB/4core limits
- Add sandbox_root and iso_output_root settings to config

systemd-nspawn sandbox for isolated ISO builds.
Security measures:
- --private-network: No network access (packages pre-cached in base)
- --read-only: Immutable root filesystem
- --tmpfs: Writable temp directories only
- --capability: Minimal capabilities for mkarchiso
- Resource limits: 8GB RAM, 4 cores (from CONTEXT.md)
