This removes code duplication and simplifies cgroup detection.
As a drawback we will not have separate messages to enable cgroup
controller in kernel or to mount it. On the other side the rewrite
adds support for cgroup v2.
The kernel config support was wrong because it was parsing
'/proc/self/cgroup' instead of '/proc/cgroups/' file.
The mount suggestion is removed as well because it will not work
with cgroup v2.

We need to configure multiple env variables for each set of tests so
create helper functions to do that.

We need to create the cgroup v2 sysfs the same way as we do for
cgroup v1.
This introduces new VIR_CGROUP_MOCK_MODE env variable which will
configure which cgroup mode each test requires. There are three
different modes:
- legacy: only cgroup v1 is available and it's the default mode
- hybrid: both cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 are available and have some
controllers
- unified: only cgroup v2 is available

Remove the trailing '/' from prefix. This change is required in order
to introduce tests for unified cgroups. They are usually mounted in
'/sys/fs/cgroup'.

This enables to use both cgroup v1 and v2 at the same time together
with libvirt. It is supported by kernel and there is valid use-case,
not all controllers are implemented in cgroup v2 so there might be
configurations where administrator would enable these missing
controllers in cgroup v1.

In order to set CPU cfs period using cgroup v2 'cpu.max' interface
we need to load the current value of CPU cfs quota first because
format of 'cpu.max' interface is '$quota $period' and in order to
change 'period' we need to write 'quota' as well. Writing only one
number changes only 'quota'.

In cgroups v2 we need to handle threads and processes differently.
If you need to move a process you need to write its pid into
cgrou.procs file and it will move the process with all its threads
as well. The whole process will be moved if you use tid of any thread.
In order to move only threads at first we need to create threaded group
and after that we can write the relevant thread tids into cgroup.threads
file. Threads can be moved only into cgroups that are children of
cgroup of its process.

When creating cgroup hierarchy we need to enable controllers in the
parent cgroup in order to be usable. That means writing "+{controller}"
into cgroup.subtree_control file. We can enable only controllers that
are enabled for parent cgroup, that means we need to do that for the
whole cgroup tree.
Cgroups for threads needs to be handled differently in cgroup v2. There
are two types of controllers:
- domain controllers: these cannot be enabled for threads
- threaded controllers: these can be enabled for threads
In addition there are multiple types of cgroups:
- domain: normal cgroup
- domain threaded: a domain cgroup that serves as root for threaded
cgroups
- domain invalid: invalid cgroup, can be changed into threaded, this
is the default state if you create subgroup inside
domain threaded group or threaded group
- threaded: threaded cgroup which can have domain threaded or
threaded as parent group
In order to create threaded cgroup it's sufficient to write "threaded"
into cgroup.type file, it will automatically make parent cgroup
"domain threaded" if it was only "domain". In case the parent cgroup
is already "domain threaded" or "threaded" it will modify only the type
of current cgroup. After that we can enable threaded controllers.

Cgroup v2 has only single mount point for all controllers. The list
of controllers is stored in cgroup.controllers file, name of controllers
are separated by space.
In cgroup v2 there is no cpuacct controller, the cpu.stat file always
exists with usage stats.

If the placement was copied from parent or set to absolute path
there is nothing to do, otherwise set the placement based on
process placement from /proc/self/cgroup or /proc/{pid}/cgroup.
