This update includes a few breaking API changes that I needed to get in
before an actual runc release depends on it, so that we don't need to
deal with compatibility shims for them (or bumping the SOVERSION).
From a Go API perspective, there were no major changes -- though this
bump did also require a bump to github.com/cyphar/filepath-securejoin
because one of the wrapped APIs changed from int to uint64 as a flag
argument type. Again, better to get this done before we really depend on
this in a public way.

This new version includes the fixes for CVE-2025-52881, so we can remove
the internal/third_party copy of the library we added in commit
ed6b1693b8 ("selinux: use safe procfs API for labels") as well as the
"replace" directive in go.mod (which is problematic for "go get"
installs).

Previously, we would see a ~3% failure rate when starting containers
with mounts that contain ".." (which can trigger -EAGAIN). To counteract
this, filepath-securejoin v0.5.1 includes a bump of the internal retry
limit from 32 to 128, which lowers the failure rate to 0.12%.
However, there is still a risk of spurious failure on regular systems.
In order to try to provide more resilience (while avoiding DoS attacks),
this patch also includes an additional retry loop that terminates based
on a deadline rather than retry count. The deadline is 2ms, as my
testing found that ~800us for a single pathrs operation was the longest
latency due to -EAGAIN retries, and that was an outlier compared to the
more common ~400us latencies -- so 2ms should be more than enough for
any real system.
The failure rates above were based on more 50k runs of runc with an
attack script (from libpathrs) running a rename attack on all cores of a
16-core system, which is arguably a worst-case but heavily utilised
servers could likely approach similar results.

In order to avoid lint errors due to the deprecation of the top-level
securejoin methods ported from libpathrs, we need to adjust
internal/pathrs to use the new pathrs-lite subpackage instead.

This release includes a minor breaking API change that requires us to
rework the types of our wrappers, but there is no practical behaviour
change.

This fixes a regression in use of securejoin.MkdirAll, where multiple
runc processes racing to create the same mountpoint in a shared rootfs
would result in spurious EEXIST errors. In particular, this regression
caused issues with BuildKit.
