André-Patrick Bubel d859769f26 nixos: replaced "userns" with "user namespaces" for clarity
"userns" wasn't introduces as an abbreviation elsewhere as far as I can see, and I wasn't sure what was meant at first.

# namespaced process to act outside the namespace with the
# same privileges as it would have inside it. This is particularly
# bad in the common case of running as root within the namespace.
#
# Setting the number of allowed user namespaces to 0 effectively disables
# the feature at runtime. Attempting to create a user namespace
# with unshare will then fail with "no space left on device".
