The containerd client is very chatty at the best of times. Because the
libcontained API is stateless and references containers and processes by
string ID for every method call, the implementation is essentially
forced to use the containerd client in a way which amplifies the number
of redundant RPCs invoked to perform any operation. The libcontainerd
remote implementation has to reload the containerd container, task
and/or process metadata for nearly every operation. This in turn
amplifies the number of context switches between dockerd and containerd
to perform any container operation or handle a containerd event,
increasing the load on the system which could otherwise be allocated to
workloads.
Overhaul the libcontainerd interface to reduce the impedance mismatch
with the containerd client so that the containerd client can be used
more efficiently. Split the API out into container, task and process
interfaces which the consumer is expected to retain so that
libcontainerd can retain state---especially the analogous containerd
client objects---without having to manage any state-store inside the
libcontainerd client.

Also fixes https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/22874
This commit is a pre-requisite to moving moby/moby on Windows to using
Containerd for its runtime.
The reason for this is that the interface between moby and containerd
for the runtime is an OCI spec which must be unambigious.
It is the responsibility of the runtime (runhcs in the case of
containerd on Windows) to ensure that arguments are escaped prior
to calling into HCS and onwards to the Win32 CreateProcess call.
Previously, the builder was always escaping arguments which has
led to several bugs in moby. Because the local runtime in
libcontainerd had context of whether or not arguments were escaped,
it was possible to hack around in daemon/oci_windows.go with
knowledge of the context of the call (from builder or not).
With a remote runtime, this is not possible as there's rightly
no context of the caller passed across in the OCI spec. Put another
way, as I put above, the OCI spec must be unambigious.
The other previous limitation (which leads to various subtle bugs)
is that moby is coded entirely from a Linux-centric point of view.
Unfortunately, Windows != Linux. Windows CreateProcess uses a
command line, not an array of arguments. And it has very specific
rules about how to escape a command line. Some interesting reading
links about this are:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/twistylittlepassagesallalike/2011/04/23/everyone-quotes-command-line-arguments-the-wrong-way/https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31838469/how-do-i-convert-argv-to-lpcommandline-parameter-of-createprocesshttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/parsing-cpp-command-line-arguments?view=vs-2017
For this reason, the OCI spec has recently been updated to cater
for more natural syntax by including a CommandLine option in
Process.
What does this commit do?
Primary objective is to ensure that the built OCI spec is unambigious.
It changes the builder so that `ArgsEscaped` as commited in a
layer is only controlled by the use of CMD or ENTRYPOINT.
Subsequently, when calling in to create a container from the builder,
if follows a different path to both `docker run` and `docker create`
using the added `ContainerCreateIgnoreImagesArgsEscaped`. This allows
a RUN from the builder to control how to escape in the OCI spec.
It changes the builder so that when shell form is used for RUN,
CMD or ENTRYPOINT, it builds (for WCOW) a more natural command line
using the original as put by the user in the dockerfile, not
the parsed version as a set of args which loses fidelity.
This command line is put into args[0] and `ArgsEscaped` is set
to true for CMD or ENTRYPOINT. A RUN statement does not commit
`ArgsEscaped` to the commited layer regardless or whether shell
or exec form were used.

This PR has the API changes described in https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/34617.
Specifically, it adds an HTTP header "X-Requested-Platform" which is a JSON-encoded
OCI Image-spec `Platform` structure.
In addition, it renames (almost all) uses of a string variable platform (and associated)
methods/functions to os. This makes it much clearer to disambiguate with the swarm
"platform" which is really os/arch. This is a stepping stone to getting the daemon towards
fully multi-platform/arch-aware, and makes it clear when "operating system" is being
referred to rather than "platform" which is misleadingly used - sometimes in the swarm
meaning, but more often as just the operating system.
This makes Windows behavior consistent with Linux -- the entry point must
be an executable, not an executable and set of arguments.

So other packages don't need to import the daemon package when they
want to use this struct.
