spec: linux: add support for the PIDs cgroup

Add support for the PIDs cgroup as a cgroup resource constraint in the
Linux container specification. Since PIDs are a real resource, we need
to support the ability to limit them.

The PIDs cgroup subsystem is available in Linux 4.3+.

+device access.  cgroups provide controls to restrict cpu, memory, IO, pids and network for
 the container. For more information, see the [kernel cgroups documentation](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt).
