Fixes #7091
Motivation & Context
As explained in issue #7091, NixOS/nixpkgs#192447 removed
-lflag from all buildsystem invocations in nixpkgs, in order to improve Hydra efficiency.However, this had several drawbacks, as this removed the ability to limit CPU load, causing OOM issues or extreme system loads in some bad scenarios (
ninjabuildsystem building something with-flto=autoenabled).This patch aims to reintroduce the possibility to limit system load (together with PR NixOS/nixpkgs#192799), while still allowing Hydra to have full build efficiency.
