Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: devices: major cleanups and minimal transition rules

This is a backport of [1], which resolves many issues with the
implementation of the runc devices cgroup code. Among other things, it
removes some of the disruptive aspects of "runc update" which customers
have run into. See [1] for more details.

Rather than reproducing all of the commits, this is a squashed version
of the following upstream commits:

* 19a3e9bf8053 ("contrib: recvtty: add --no-stdin flag")
 * 11736767d2c5 ("cgroups: add GetFreezerState() helper to Manager")
 * 4d363ccbd9cc ("cgroup: devices: eradicate the Allow/Deny lists")
 * 5baa34c9134b ("specconv: remove default /dev/console access")
 * 8ed0c4c03641 ("configs: use different types for .Devices and .Resources.Devices")
 * 2ef5f417d923 ("cgroups: implement a devices cgroupv1 emulator")
 * b70aacc28f43 ("cgroupv1: devices: use minimal transition rules with devices.Emulator")
 * 410aef3ef858 ("cgroups: systemd: make use of Device*= properties")
