deprecate RunningInUserNS(), migrate to github.com/moby/sys/userns

The userns package in libcontainer was integrated into the moby/sys/user
module at commit 3778ae603c706494fd1e2c2faf83b406e38d687d.

The userns package is used in many places, and currently either depends
on runc/libcontainer, or on containerd, both of which have a complex
dependency tree. This patch is part of a series of patches to unify the
implementations, and to migrate toward that implementation to simplify
the dependency tree.
