libcontainer: remove dependency on libapparmor

libapparmor is integrated in libcontainer using cgo but is only used to
call a single function: aa_change_onexec. It turns out this function is
simple enough (writing a string to a file in /proc/<n>/attr/...) to be
re-implemented locally in libcontainer in plain Go.

This allows to drop the dependency on libapparmor and the corresponding
cgo integration.

Fixes #1674
