Create a port for macOS #16

This commit isolates the sandbox implementation based on Seccomp and Ptrace to ease the incorporation of a sandbox for macOS. Note that, even though macOS provides a ptrace(2) implementation, that API is far from complete. For instance, it is not possible to peek registers, memory, or to monitor system call events from a child process. There aren't really too many options to monitor system calls on macOS without requiring admin rights.
