This was added in ec87479b7e, but it's unclear
why a sync.Once was used just for reading an environment-variable. The
related PR had a lot of review comments, so perhaps an earlier implementation
used something more heavy-weight, or it was just overlooked.

The `--rootless` flag had a couple of issues:
* #38702: euid=0, $USER="root" but no access to cgroup ("rootful" Docker in rootless Docker)
* #39009: euid=0 but $USER="docker" (rootful boot2docker)
To fix#38702, XDG dirs are ignored as in rootful Docker, unless the
dockerd is directly running under RootlessKit namespaces.
RootlessKit detection is implemented by checking whether `$ROOTLESSKIT_STATE_DIR` is set.
To fix#39009, the non-robust `$USER` check is now completely removed.
The entire logic can be illustrated as follows:
```
withRootlessKit := getenv("ROOTLESSKIT_STATE_DIR")
rootlessMode := withRootlessKit || cliFlag("--rootless")
honorXDG := withRootlessKit
useRootlessKitDockerProxy := withRootlessKit
removeCgroupSpec := rootlessMode
adjustOOMScoreAdj := rootlessMode
```

Please refer to `docs/rootless.md`.
TLDR:
* Make sure `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid` contain the entry for you
* `dockerd-rootless.sh --experimental`
* `docker -H unix://$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock run ...`
