With open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE), it is possible to implement both the
id-mapped mounts and bind-mount source file descriptor logic entirely in
Go without requiring any complicated handling from nsexec.
However, implementing it the naive way (do the OPEN_TREE_CLONE in the
host namespace before the rootfs is set up -- which is what the existing
implementation did) exposes issues in how mount ordering (in particular
when handling mount sources from inside the container rootfs, but also
in relation to mount propagation) was handled for idmapped mounts and
bind-mount sources. In order to solve this problem completely, it is
necessary to spawn a thread which joins the container mount namespace
and provides mountfds when requested by the rootfs setup code (ensuring
that the mount order and mount propagation of the source of the
bind-mount are handled correctly). While the need to join the mount
namespace leads to other complicated (such as with the usage of
/proc/self -- fixed in a later patch) the resulting code is still
reasonable and is the only real way to solve the issue.
This allows us to reduce the amount of C code we have in nsexec, as well
as simplifying a whole host of places that were made more complicated
with the addition of id-mapped mounts and the bind sourcefd logic.
Because we join the container namespace, we can continue to use regular
O_PATH file descriptors for non-id-mapped bind-mount sources (which
means we don't have to raise the kernel requirement for that case).
In addition, we can easily add support for id-mappings that don't match
the container's user namespace. The approach taken here is to use Go's
officially supported mechanism for spawning a process in a user
namespace, but (ab)use PTRACE_TRACEME to avoid actually having to exec a
different process. The most efficient way to implement this would be to
do clone() in cgo directly to run a function that just does
kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP) -- we can always switch to that if it turns out
this approach is too slow. It should be noted that the included
micro-benchmark seems to indicate this is Fast Enough(TM):

The name "root" (or "containerRoot") is confusing; one might think it is
the root of container's file system (the directory we chroot into).
Rename to stateDir for clarity.

When a hook has failed, the error message looks like this:
> error running hook: error running hook #1: exit status 1, stdout: ...
The two problems here are:
1. it is impossible to know what kind of hook it was;
2. "error running hook" stuttering;
Change that to
> error running createContainer hook #1: exit status 1, stdout: ...

golangci-lint v1.54.2 comes with errorlint v1.4.4, which contains
the fix [1] whitelisting all errno comparisons for errors coming from
x/sys/unix.
Thus, these annotations are no longer necessary. Hooray!

This includes quite a few cleanups and improvements to the way we do
synchronisation. The core behaviour is unchanged, but switching to
embedding json.RawMessage into the synchronisation structure will allow
us to do more complicated synchronisation operations in future patches.
The file descriptor passing through the synchronisation system feature
will be used as part of the idmapped-mount and bind-mount-source
features when switching that code to use the new mount API outside of
nsexec.c.

As we now log the log file name in logCriuErrors.
While at it, there is no need to use var.String() with %s as it is done
by the runtime.

When criu fails, it does not give us much context to understand what
was the cause of an error -- for that, we need to take a look into its
log file.
This is somewhat complicated to do (as you can see in parts of
checkpoint.bats removed by this commit), and not very user-friendly.
Add a function to find and log errors from criu logs, together with some
preceding context, in case either checkpoint or restore has failed.
