Second thought: can we avoid the bind mount above. Maintaining bind mounts is 
hard because we need to clean them up in all sorts of failure cases. I think we 
can just save the pid there.

When the container finishes and after we call DEL on the CNI plugin, we remove 
the pid file, indicating that the CNI cleanup has been done. Then, we remove 
the whole directory for the container. The caveat here is that a pid might be 
reused, then the namespace handle based on proc might not be correct. But this 
is very unlikely (due to pid allocation in kernel). We made the same assumption 
in other places in the code as well.

For 2), I prefer a directory based layout so that we don't need to write a 
parsing logic. We followed this pattern for other checkpointed data as well 
(e.g., slave's meta data).

For 3), Let's fix that for now. We can always add an agent flag later. Remember 
that in many systems, /var/run is a symlink to /run. So you need to use 
os::realpath first to get the real path of /var/run.
