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.

Place cgroup v2 backend type before cgroup v1 to make it obvious
that cgroup v2 is preferred implementation.
Following patches will introduce support for hybrid configuration
which will allow us to use both at the same time, but we should
prefer cgroup v2 regardless.

This reverts commit 1602aa28f8.
There is no need to call virCgroupRemove() nor virCgroupFree() if
virCgroupEnableMissingControllers() fails because it will not modify
'group' at all.
The cleanup of directories is done in virCgroupMakeGroup().

All the system headers are used only if we are compiling on linux
and they all are present otherwise we would have seen build errors
because in our tests/vircgrouptest.c we use only __linux__ to check
whether to skip the cgroup tests or not.

tests/vircgrouptest.c uses #ifdef __linux__ for a long time and no
failure was reported so far so it's safe to assume that __linux__ is
good enough to guard cgroup code.

With the introduction of cgroup v2 there are new names used with
cgroups based on which version is used:
- legacy: cgroup v1
- unified: cgroup v2
- hybrid: cgroup v1 and cgroup v2
Let's use 'legacy' instead of 'cgroupv1' or 'controllers' in our code.

We need to update one test-case because now new cgroup object will be
created only if there is any cgroup backend available.

This will be required once cgroup v2 is introduced. The cgroup
detection is not simple and we will have multiple backends so we
should not just jump into the middle of the detection code.
In order to use virCgroupNewSelf we need to create all the remaining
data files:
- {name}.cgroups represents /proc/cgroups, it is a list of cgroup
controllers compiled into kernel
- {name}.self.cgroup represents /proc/self/cgroup, it describes
cgroups to which the process belongs
For "no-cgroups" we need to modify the expected behavior because
virCgroupNewSelf() will fail if there are no controllers available.
