Create a new audit record AUDIT_CONTAINER to document the audit
container identifier of a process if it is present.

Called from audit_log_exit(), syscalls are covered.

A sample raw event:

I'm not sure I'm completely sold on the AUDIT_CONTAINER_ID and
AUDIT_CONTAINER record type names.  From what I can tell
AUDIT_CONTAINER_ID seems to be used for audit container ID management
operations, e.g. setting the ID, whereas the AUDIT_CONTAINER is used
to tag events with the corresponding audit container ID.  Assuming
that is correct, it seems like AUDIT_CONTAINER might be better served
if it was named AUDIT_CONTAINER_ID and if we could change
AUDIT_CONTAINER_ID to AUDIT_CONTAINER_OP/MGMT/etc.  Thoughts?

Please see discussion at:
        https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2018-May/msg00101.html

I'm fine with changing AUDIT_CONTAINER_ID to AUDIT_CONTAINER_OP/MGMT/etc.

Noted, and while I'm generally a big fan of consistency for things
like this, I think these things are different enough (the loginuid is
recorded as a field, the audit container ID is recorded in a dedicated
record) that we don't need to be bound by LOGINUID's naming
convention.

Can you explain your reason for including an "op" field in this record
type?  I've been looking at the rest of the patches in this patchset
and it seems to be used more as an indicator of the record's
generating context rather than any sort of audit container ID
operation.

"action" might work, but that's netfilter and numeric... "kind"?
Nothing else really seems to fit from a field name, type or lack of
searchability perspective.

My concern isn't so much the name of the "op" field, although that
does seem wrong, but rather the existence of the field in the first
place.  This audit container ID record (whatever we end up calling it)
exists to attach an audit container ID to an audit event, that's it;
an audit event should have other records which provide the context
(granted, the exact number of records depends on the event and the
system's configuration).  If we are relying on this record to provide
critical information about the audit event other than the audit
container ID, I believe this is a strong indicator that the existing
audit records are lacking and should be augmented.
