Draft until opencontainers/cgroups#48 is merged.
The main update is actually in github.com/opencontainers/cgroups, but we
need to also update runtime-spec to a newer pre-release version to get
the updates from there as well.
In short, the behaviour change is now that "0" is treated as a valid
value to set in "pids.max", "-1" means "max" and unset/nil means "do
nothing". As described in the opencontainers/cgroups PR, this change is
actually backwards compatible because our internal state.json stores
PidsLimit, and that entry is marked as "omitempty". So, an old runc
would omit PidsLimit=0 in state.json, and this will be parsed by a new
runc as being "nil" -- and both would treat this case as "do not set
anything".
