Akihiro Suda 3f2f06dfe1 Move cgroup v2 out of experimental
After a lot of refactoring, our cgroup v1 and v2 drivers now have same level of implementation quality,
so we can move the v2 driver out of experimental.

Close #2663

# cgroup v2
runc fully supports cgroup v2 (unified mode) since v1.0.0-rc93.
To use cgroup v2, you might need to change the configuration of the host init system.
Fedora (>= 31) uses cgroup v2 by default and no extra configuration is required.
On other systemd-based distros, cgroup v2 can be enabled by adding `systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1` to the kernel cmdline.
## Am I using cgroup v2?
Yes if `/sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.controllers` is present.
## Host Requirements
### Kernel
* Recommended version: 5.2 or later
* Minimum version: 4.15
Kernel older than 5.2 is not recommended due to lack of freezer.
Notably, kernel older than 4.15 MUST NOT be used (unless you are running containers with user namespaces), as it lacks support for controlling permissions of devices.
### Systemd
On cgroup v2 hosts, it is highly recommended to run runc with the systemd cgroup driver (`runc --systemd-cgroup`), though not mandatory.
The recommended systemd version is 244 or later. Older systemd does not support delegation of `cpuset` controller.
Make sure you also have the `dbus-user-session` (Debian/Ubuntu) or `dbus-daemon` (CentOS/Fedora) package installed, and that `dbus` is running. On Debian-flavored distros, this can be accomplished like so:
```console
$ sudo apt install -y dbus-user-session
$ systemctl --user start dbus
```
## Rootless
On cgroup v2 hosts, rootless runc can talk to systemd to get cgroup permissions to be delegated.
```console
$ runc spec --rootless
$ jq '.linux.cgroupsPath="user.slice:runc:foo"' config.json | sponge config.json
$ runc --systemd-cgroup run foo
```
The container processes are executed in a cgroup like `/user.slice/user-$(id -u).slice/user@$(id -u).service/user.slice/runc-foo.scope`.
### Configuring delegation
Typically, only `memory` and `pids` controllers are delegated to non-root users by default.
```console
$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-$(id -u).slice/user@$(id -u).service/cgroup.controllers
memory pids
```
To allow delegation of other controllers, you need to change the systemd configuration as follows:
```console
# mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/user@.service.d
# cat > /etc/systemd/system/user@.service.d/delegate.conf << EOF
[Service]
Delegate=cpu cpuset io memory pids
EOF
# systemctl daemon-reload
```
