Validation of Mounts was only performed on container _creation_, not on
container _start_. As a result, if the host-path no longer existed
when the container was started, a directory was created in the given
location.
This is the wrong behavior, because when using the `Mounts` API, host paths
should never be created, and an error should be produced instead.
This patch adds a validation step on container start, and produces an
error if the host path is not found.

`Mounts` allows users to specify in a much safer way the volumes they
want to use in the container.
This replaces `Binds` and `Volumes`, which both still exist, but
`Mounts` and `Binds`/`Volumes` are exclussive.
The CLI will continue to use `Binds` and `Volumes` due to concerns with
parsing the volume specs on the client side and cross-platform support
(for now).
The new API follows exactly the services mount API.
Example usage of `Mounts`:
```
$ curl -XPOST localhost:2375/containers/create -d '{
"Image": "alpine:latest",
"HostConfig": {
"Mounts": [{
"Type": "Volume",
"Target": "/foo"
},{
"Type": "bind",
"Source": "/var/run/docker.sock",
"Target": "/var/run/docker.sock",
},{
"Type": "volume",
"Name": "important_data",
"Target": "/var/data",
"ReadOnly": true,
"VolumeOptions": {
"DriverConfig": {
Name: "awesomeStorage",
Options: {"size": "10m"},
Labels: {"some":"label"}
}
}]
}
}'
```
There are currently 2 types of mounts:
- **bind**: Paths on the host that get mounted into the
container. Paths must exist prior to creating the container.
- **volume**: Volumes that persist after the
container is removed.
Not all fields are available in each type, and validation is done to
ensure these fields aren't mixed up between types.
