Due to the fact that the init is implemented in Go (which seemingly
randomly spawns new processes and loves eating memory), most cgroup
configurations are required to have an arbitrary minimum dictated by the
init. This confuses users and makes configuration more annoying than it
should. An example of this is pids.max, where Go spawns multiple
processes that then cause init to violate the pids cgroup constraint
before the container can even start.
Solve this problem by setting the cgroup configurations as late as
possible, to avoid hitting as many of the resources hogged by the Go
init as possible. This has to be done before seccomp rules are applied,
as the parent and child must synchronise in order for the parent to
correctly set the configurations (and writes might be blocked by seccomp).

A directory with a hyphen currently generates an InvalidId error because
of the regex in libcontainer. I don't believe there is any reason a
hyphen should be disallowed.
