Hi everyone,

Bug #161045 [1] requests that portage support RESTRICT=sandbox.
This is certainly a valid request but a user may wish to reject a
package based on certain questionable values of RESTRICT.  Examples
other than sandbox incude unattended [2] and userpriv [3].

I suggest that we add support for a new incremental variable called
ACCEPT_RESTRICT so that a user can accept or reject restrictions.
Much like package.keywords, we can also have a package.restrict file
located in /etc/portage for per-package settings.  Thoughts?
