This file access type is actually called "proxy-shared", but I forgot to update
all locations.

Previously, gofer filesystems were configured with the default "fscache"
policy, which caches filesystem metadata and contents aggressively. While this
setting is best for performance, it means that changes from inside the sandbox
may not be immediately propagated outside the sandbox, and vice-versa.
This CL changes volumes and the root fs configuration to use a new
"remote-revalidate" cache policy which tries to retain as much caching as
possible while still making fs changes visible across the sandbox boundary.
This cache policy is enabled by default for the root filesystem. The default
value for the "--file-access" flag is still "proxy", but the behavior is
changed to use the new cache policy.
A new value for the "--file-access" flag is added, called "proxy-exclusive",
which turns on the previous aggressive caching behavior. As the name implies,
this flag should be used when the sandbox has "exclusive" access to the
filesystem.
All volume mounts are configured to use the new cache policy, since it is
safest and most likely to be correct. There is not currently a way to change
this behavior, but it's possible to add such a mechanism in the future. The
configurability is a smaller issue for volumes, since most of the expensive
application fs operations (walking + stating files) will likely served by the
root fs.

Unit tests call runsc directly now, so all command line arguments
are valid. On the other hand, enabling debug in the test binary
doesn't affect runsc. It needs to be set in the config.

This is a necessary prerequisite for supporting multiple containers in a single
sandbox.
All the commands (in cmd package) now call operations on Containers (container
package). When a Container first starts, it will create a Sandbox with the same
ID.
The Sandbox class is now simpler, as it only knows how to create boot/gofer
processes, and how to forward commands into the running boot process.
There are TODOs sprinkled around for additional support for multiple
containers. Most notably, we need to detect when a container is intended to run
in an existing sandbox (by reading the metadata), and then have some way to
signal to the sandbox to start a new container. Other urpc calls into the
sandbox need to pass the container ID, so the sandbox can run the operation on
the given container. These are only half-plummed through right now.
