runc v1.3.0-rc.2 -- "Eppur si muove."

This is the second release candidate of the runc 1.3.0 release. It
contains a few fixes for issues found in rc.1.

This is the first release series that will follow our new release
policy, meaning that users should expect runc 1.3.0 to be released at
the end of April 2025, at which point the support policy for the runc
1.2.z branch will change. Please see the new RELEASES.md document for
more information.

Users are strongly encouraged to test our release candidates so we can
fix issues before the general release.

Fixes:

 * Use the container's `/etc/passwd` to set the `HOME` env var. After a refactor
   for 1.3, we were setting it reading the host's `/etc/passwd` file instead.
   (#4693, #4688)
 * Override `HOME` env var if it's set to the empty string. This fixes a
   regression after the same refactor for 1.3 and aligns the behavior with older
   versions of runc. (#4711)
 * Add time namespace to container config after checkpoint/restore. CRIU since
   version 3.14 uses a time namespace for checkpoint/restore, however it was not
   joining the time namespace in runc. (#4705)
