dockerd: fix rootless detection (alternative to #39024)
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
```

Close #39024
Fix #38702 #39009
