libct/intelrdt: check if available iff configured

Unless the container's runtime config has intelRdt configuration set,
any checks for whether Intel RDT is supported or the resctrl filesystem
is mounted are a waste of time as, per the OCI Runtime Spec, "the
runtime MUST NOT manipulate any resctrl pseudo-filesystems." And in the
likely case where Intel RDT is supported by both the hardware and
kernel but the resctrl filesystem is not mounted, these checks can get
expensive as the intelrdt package needs to parse mountinfo to check
whether the filesystem has been mounted to a non-standard path.
Optimize for the common case of containers with no intelRdt
configuration by only performing the checks when the container has opted
in.
