v1.0.3 -- "If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it."

This is the third stable release in the 1.0 branch, fixing a handful of medium
priority issues related to mounts and cgroups, as well as a potential security
vulnerability.

This release is expected to be the last point release in the 1.0 branch, as we
are planning to release runc 1.1 in the near future.

Security:
 * A potential vulnerability was discovered in runc (related to an internal
   usage of netlink), however upon further investigation we discovered that
   while this bug was exploitable on the master branch of runc, no released
   version of runc could be exploited using this bug. The exploit required
   being able to create a netlink attribute with a length that would overflow a
   uint16 but this was not possible in any released version of runc. For more
   information see GHSA-v95c-p5hm-xq8f and CVE-2021-43784.

   Due to an abundance of caution we decided to do an emergency release with
   this fix, but to reiterate *we do not believe this vulnerability was
   possible to exploit*. Thanks to Felix Wilhelm from Google Project Zero for
   discovering and reporting this vulnerability so quickly.

Bugfixes:
 * Fixed inability to start a container with read-write bind mount of a
   read-only fuse host mount (#3292)
 * Fixed inability to start when read-only /dev in set in spec (#3277)
 * Fixed not removing sub-cgroups upon container delete, when rootless cgroup v2
   is used with older systemd (#3297)
 * Fixed returning error from GetStats when hugetlb is unsupported (which causes
   excessive logging for kubernetes) (#3295)
 * [CI only] Fixed criu 3.16 compatibility issue (#3282)
 * [CI only] Add Go 1.17 to the testing matrix (#3299)

Enhancements:
 * Improved an error message when dbus-user-session is not installed and
   rootless + cgroup2 + systemd are used (#3212)
