Make sbuild nice to it's host

Browse Source 
StarlingX build tools consume excessive cpu and io which can starve
non-build services, including kubernetes and calico. This results in
timeouts, restarts, and general instability of calico and kubernetes
which in turn can the build to fail. This affect is observed on the
main StarlingX build server.

The major build steps should employ 'nice' and 'ionice' to ensure
that critical services on the build host are not starved for cpu or io.
