This PR decomposes `libcontainer/configs.Config.Rootless bool` into `RootlessEUID bool` and
`RootlessCgroups bool`, so as to make "runc-in-userns" to be more compatible with "rootful" runc.
`RootlessEUID` denotes that runc is being executed as a non-root user (euid != 0) in
the current user namespace. `RootlessEUID` is almost identical to the former `Rootless`
except cgroups stuff.
`RootlessCgroups` denotes that runc is unlikely to have the full access to cgroups.
`RootlessCgroups` is set to false if runc is executed as the root (euid == 0) in the initial namespace.
Otherwise `RootlessCgroups` is set to true.
(Hint: if `RootlessEUID` is true, `RootlessCgroups` becomes true as well)
When runc is executed as the root (euid == 0) in an user namespace (e.g. by Docker-in-LXD, Podman, Usernetes),
`RootlessEUID` is set to false but `RootlessCgroups` is set to true.
So, "runc-in-userns" behaves almost same as "rootful" runc except that cgroups errors are ignored.
This PR does not have any impact on CLI flags and `state.json`.
Note about CLI:
* Now `runc --rootless=(auto|true|false)` CLI flag is only used for setting `RootlessCgroups`.
* Now `runc spec --rootless` is only required when `RootlessEUID` is set to true.
For runc-in-userns, `runc spec` without `--rootless` should work, when sufficient numbers of
UID/GID are mapped.
Note about `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` (e.g. `/run/user/1000`):
* `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is ignored if runc is being executed as the root (euid == 0) in the initial namespace, for backward compatibility.
(`/run/runc` is used)
* If runc is executed as the root (euid == 0) in an user namespace, `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is honored if `$USER != "" && $USER != "root"`.
This allows unprivileged users to allow execute runc as the root in userns, without mounting writable `/run/runc`.
Note about `state.json`:
* `rootless` is set to true when `RootlessEUID == true && RootlessCgroups == true`.

Since this is a runC-specific feature, this belongs here over in
opencontainers/ocitools (which is for generic OCI runtimes).
In addition, we don't create a new network namespace. This is because
currently if you want to set up a veth bridge you need CAP_NET_ADMIN in
both network namespaces' pinned user namespace to create the necessary
interfaces in each network namespace.

This enables the support for the rootless container mode. There are many
restrictions on what rootless containers can do, so many different runC
commands have been disabled:
* runc checkpoint
* runc events
* runc pause
* runc ps
* runc restore
* runc resume
* runc update
The following commands work:
* runc create
* runc delete
* runc exec
* runc kill
* runc list
* runc run
* runc spec
* runc state
In addition, any specification options that imply joining cgroups have
also been disabled. This is due to support for unprivileged subtree
management not being available from Linux upstream.

When spec file contains duplicated namespaces, e.g.
specs: specs.Spec{
Linux: &specs.Linux{
Namespaces: []specs.Namespace{
{
Type: "pid",
},
{
Type: "pid",
Path: "/proc/1/ns/pid",
},
},
},
}
runc should report malformed spec instead of using latest one by
default, because this spec could be quite confusing.

Alternative of #895 , part of #892
The intension of current behavior if to create cgroup in
parent cgroup of current process, but we did this in a
wrong way, we used devices cgroup path of current process
as the default parent path for all subsystems, this is
wrong because we don't always have the same cgroup path
for all subsystems.

Users of libcontainer other than runc may also require parsing and
converting specification configuration files.
Since runc cannot be imported, move the relevant functions and
definitions to a separate package, libcontainer/specconv.
