This is writeable, and can be used to remove devices. Containers do
not need to know about scsi devices.

Since the commit d88fe447df ("Add support for sharing /dev/shm/ and
/dev/mqueue between containers") container's /dev/shm is mounted on the
host first, then bind-mounted inside the container. This is done that
way in order to be able to share this container's IPC namespace
(and the /dev/shm mount point) with another container.
Unfortunately, this functionality breaks container checkpoint/restore
(even if IPC is not shared). Since /dev/shm is an external mount, its
contents is not saved by `criu checkpoint`, and so upon restore any
application that tries to access data under /dev/shm is severily
disappointed (which usually results in a fatal crash).
This commit solves the issue by introducing new IPC modes for containers
(in addition to 'host' and 'container:ID'). The new modes are:
- 'shareable': enables sharing this container's IPC with others
(this used to be the implicit default);
- 'private': disables sharing this container's IPC.
In 'private' mode, container's /dev/shm is truly mounted inside the
container, without any bind-mounting from the host, which solves the
issue.
While at it, let's also implement 'none' mode. The motivation, as
eloquently put by Justin Cormack, is:
> I wondered a while back about having a none shm mode, as currently it is
> not possible to have a totally unwriteable container as there is always
> a /dev/shm writeable mount. It is a bit of a niche case (and clearly
> should never be allowed to be daemon default) but it would be trivial to
> add now so maybe we should...
...so here's yet yet another mode:
- 'none': no /dev/shm mount inside the container (though it still
has its own private IPC namespace).
Now, to ultimately solve the abovementioned checkpoint/restore issue, we'd
need to make 'private' the default mode, but unfortunately it breaks the
backward compatibility. So, let's make the default container IPC mode
per-daemon configurable (with the built-in default set to 'shareable'
for now). The default can be changed either via a daemon CLI option
(--default-shm-mode) or a daemon.json configuration file parameter
of the same name.
Note one can only set either 'shareable' or 'private' IPC modes as a
daemon default (i.e. in this context 'host', 'container', or 'none'
do not make much sense).
Some other changes this patch introduces are:
1. A mount for /dev/shm is added to default OCI Linux spec.
2. IpcMode.Valid() is simplified to remove duplicated code that parsed
'container:ID' form. Note the old version used to check that ID does
not contain a semicolon -- this is no longer the case (tests are
modified accordingly). The motivation is we should either do a
proper check for container ID validity, or don't check it at all
(since it is checked in other places anyway). I chose the latter.
3. IpcMode.Container() is modified to not return container ID if the
mode value does not start with "container:", unifying the check to
be the same as in IpcMode.IsContainer().
3. IPC mode unit tests (runconfig/hostconfig_test.go) are modified
to add checks for newly added values.

There really is no reason why anyone should create content in /dev
other then device nodes. Limiting it size to the 64 k size limit.
