Xiaochen Shen 95af9eff82 libcontainer: intelrdt: add support for Intel RDT/MBA Software Controller in runc
MBA Software Controller feature is introduced in Linux kernel v4.18.
It is a software enhancement to mitigate some limitations in MBA which
describes in kernel documentation. It also makes the interface more user
friendly - we could specify memory bandwidth in "MBps" (Mega Bytes per
second) as well as in "percentages".

The kernel underneath would use a software feedback mechanism or a
"Software Controller" which reads the actual bandwidth using MBM
counters and adjust the memory bandwidth percentages to ensure:
"actual memory bandwidth < user specified memory bandwidth".

We could enable this feature through mount option "-o mba_MBps":
mount -t resctrl resctrl -o mba_MBps /sys/fs/resctrl

In runc, we handle both memory bandwidth schemata in unified format:
"MB:<cache_id0>=bandwidth0;<cache_id1>=bandwidth1;..."
The unit of memory bandwidth is specified in "percentages" by default,
and in "MBps" if MBA Software Controller is enabled.
