config-linux: Add Intel RDT/MBA Linux support

Add support for Intel Resource Director Technology (RDT) /
Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA). Add memory bandwidth resource
constraints in Linux-specific configuration.

In this PR, the spec for memory bandwidth (memBwSchema) keeps
the same format as existed spec for L3 cache (l3CacheSchema)
for consistency and compatibility in runtime-spec 1.x.

Example:

"linux": {
    "intelRdt": {
        "l3CacheSchema": "L3:0=7f0;1=1f",
        "memBwSchema": "MB:0=20;1=70"
    }
}

This is the prerequisite of this runc proposal:
opencontainers/runc#1596

 ### Example
 
-Consider a two-socket machine with two L3 caches where the default CBM is 0xfffff and the max CBM length is 20 bits.
-Tasks inside the container only have access to the "upper" 80% of L3 cache id 0 and the "lower" 50% L3 cache id 1:
+Consider a two-socket machine with two L3 caches where the default CBM is 0x7ff and the max CBM length is 11 bits,
+and minimum memory bandwidth of 10% with a memory bandwidth granularity of 10%.
+
+Tasks inside the container only have access to the "upper" 7/11 of L3 cache on socket 0 and the "lower" 5/11 L3 cache on socket 1,
+and may use a maximum memory bandwidth of 20% on socket 0 and 70% on socket 1.
