Review Comment:
   The reason I didn't modify it in #1436 is that I wanted to have it 
backportable to bst-1 (but turns out bst-1 didn't have a dummy sandbox at all, 
so whatever).
   
   There are actually two different checks `Sandox.check_available()` and 
`Sandbox._check_sandbox_config()` (is there a reason why the former is 
"public"?) and we want to cache the result of the former. That's essentially 
why dummy_reasons exist.
   
   What I would recommend is to do the caching in the `Sandbox` class itself, 
such that calling `_check_sandbox_config()` will raise the newly introduced 
`SandboxUnsupportedError` if buildbox-run isn't available before actually 
checking the config (and possibly drop `Sandox.check_available()` altogether if 
it's not needed for your new check?)
