Support BuildBox for local builds

BuildBox implements a FUSE filesystem to provide access to CAS contents without the staging overhead or danger of hardlinks. It will also abstract sandboxing across platforms. BuildBox is currently used in BuildGrid workers for remote execution.

Switching to BuildBox also for local builds will thus reduce build (staging) time and allows us to remove platform-specific sandboxing code from BuildStream.
