Allow for unpriviledged nested containers

If the build itself is run in a container, we may not be able to
fully set up a nested container for test-container testing.
Notably is the mounting of /proc, since it's critical that it
be mounted from within the same PID namespace as its users, and
thus cannot be bind mounted from outside the container like other
mounts.

This patch defaults to using the parent's PID namespace instead of
creating a new one, as this is more likely to be allowed.

If the test needs an isolated PID namespace, it should add the "pidns"
command to its init script.
