We don't spend that much time for decompression (should be about ≈0.130s). Maybe using a tmpfs will shave off a couple of milliseconds.

I ♥ systemd

This commit resolves many long-standing problems:

* Issue #25 (RESTRICTED setting) is resolved. Bots are still not fully
  secure, but now they are more secure that they've even been given
  that RESTRICTED setting is entirely useless
* Issue #52 (predictable filenames) is no longer blocked
* Issue #55 (sandboxable) is probably no longer relevant
* Issue #118 (ramfs for /tmp) now needs an update
* Issue #144 (bots leaving stuff behind) is resolved because every bot
  has its own /tmp
* Issue #183 (source ip issue) possibly has a systemd solution for it
* Issue #197 is tackled a little bit also because now there's a memory
  limit for every bot (3G for now, we can probably make it smaller)
* Issue #238 (e.g. forkbombs) is basically resolved, but needs a bit more work
* Moreover, there's now a watchdog that makes sure that bots come back
  online if something bad happens

Not that all of this wasn't possible without systemd, it's just that
it is so much easier now. Feel free to hate me as much as you want.

I think this issue is no longer relevant. See #31 instead. Will close once confirmed.
