Fixes #38509

Motivation for this change

When privateNetwork is enabled, currently the container's interface name
is derived from the container name. However, there's a hard limit
on the size of interface names. To avoid conflicts and other issues,
we set a limit on the container name when privateNetwork is enabled.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

@arianvp do you want to backport this to 18.09 as well?
