lifecycle: Don't require /run/opencontainer/<runtime>/containers

We already require it for Linux/Unix-based systems [1], so we don't
have to repeat it here.  And other systems will use different paths,
which we haven't specified yet.  When I asked why we didn't specify a
path for Windows [2], Vincent said we were waiting on help from PoC
implementations [3].  So this commit punts the location to the "State"
section, and lets the "Lifecycle" section just focus on when the
write-to-filesystem happens.

There's also discussion about removing the filesystem state registry
completely [4], in which case we'd want to remove the whole line from
the lifecycle.
