Enable CRIU configuration files

CRIU 3.11 introduces configuration files:

https://criu.org/Configuration_files
https://lisas.de/~adrian/posts/2018-Nov-08-criu-configuration-files.html

This enables the user to influence CRIU's behaviour without code changes
if using new CRIU features or if the user wants to enable certain CRIU
behaviour without always specifying certain options.

With this it is possible to write 'tcp-established' to the configuration
file:

$ echo tcp-established > /etc/criu/runc.conf

and from now on all checkpoints will preserve the state of established
TCP connections. This removes the need to always use

$ runc checkpoint --tcp-stablished

If the goal is to always checkpoint with '--tcp-established'

It also adds the possibility for unexpected CRIU behaviour if the user
created a configuration file at some point in time and forgets about it.

As a result of the discussion in opencontainers#1933
it is now also possible to define a CRIU configuration file for each
container with the annotation 'org.criu.config'.

If 'org.criu.config' does not exist, runc will tell CRIU to use
'/etc/criu/runc.conf' if it exists.

If 'org.criu.config' is set to an empty string (''), runc will tell CRIU
to not use any runc specific configuration file at all.

If 'org.criu.config' is set to a non-empty string, runc will use that
value as an additional configuration file for CRIU.

With the annotation the user can decide to use the default configuration
file ('/etc/criu/runc.conf'), none or a container specific configuration
file.
