Add support for configuring UID/GID mappings on individual container
mount points without affecting the global container mapping.

A new "idmap" mount point option accepts semicolon-separated mappings:
```
idmap=type:ct:host:len;type:ct:host:len;...
```

type: can be either 'u' or 'g'
ct: ID as seen inside the container
host: corresponding ID on the host
len: number of consecutive IDs to map

Unmapped ranges inherit the container's ID mapping.

Example to pass through the host UID & GID 1005:
```
mp0: /mnt/data,mp=/data,idmap=u:1005:1005:1;g:1005:1005:1
```

To identity-map the entire range of ids, "passthrough" can be used:
```
idmap=passthrough
```

Mount point idmapping only works for unprivileged containers. Privileged
containers are unaffected.

Build/Bump order:
* pve-container
* pve-manager

Changes since v1:
* Include $msg in error message in sync_send/sync_recv
* Switch idmap from space-separated to semicolon-separated
* Improve documentation of idmap option
* Add 'idmap=passthrough'
* Cache user namespace file descriptors in memory at container startup
  to avoid overhead of re-creating duplicates

pve-container:

Filip Schauer (5):
  namespaces: relax prototype of run_in_userns
  namespaces: refactor run_in_userns
  d/control: update versioned dependency for libpve-common-perl
  namespaces: add helper to create user namespace from idmap
  implement per-mountpoint uid/gid mapping
