runc delete -f: fix for no pidns + no init case

Commit f8ad20f moved the kill logic from container destroy to container
kill (which is the right thing to do).

Alas, it broke the use case of doing "runc delete -f" for a container
which does not have its own private PID namespace, when its init process
is gone. In this case, some processes may still be running, and runc
delete -f should kill them (the same way as "runc kill" does).

It does not do that because the container status is "stopped" (as runc
considers the container with no init process as stopped), and so we only
call "destroy" (which was doing the killing before).

The fix is easy: if --force is set, call killContainer no matter what.

Add a test case, similar to the one in the previous commit.
