If the build itself is run in a container, we may not be able to
fully set up a nested container for test-container testing.
Notably is the mounting of /proc, since it's critical that it
be mounted from within the same PID namespace as its users, and
thus cannot be bind mounted from outside the container like other
mounts.
This patch defaults to using the parent's PID namespace instead of
creating a new one, as this is more likely to be allowed.
If the test needs an isolated PID namespace, it should add the "pidns"
command to its init script.

(cherry picked from commit 2fe64148a8)
The glibc 2.33 release enabled /etc/nsswitch.conf reloading,
and to prevent potential security issues like CVE-2019-14271
the re-loading of nsswitch.conf and all mdoules was disabled
when the root filesystem changes (see bug 27077).
Unfortunately php-lpfm and openldap both require the ability
to continue to load NSS modules after chroot. The packages
do not exec after the chroot, and so do not cause the
protections to be reset. The only solution is to re-enable
only NSS module loading (not nsswitch.conf reloading) and so
get back the previous glibc behaviour.
In the future we may introduce a way to harden applications
so they do not reload NSS modules once the root filesystem
changes, or that only files/dns are available pre-loaded
(or builtin).

Before reloading nsswitch.conf, verify that the root directory
hasn't changed - if it has, it's likely that we've entered a
container and should not trust the nsswitch inside the container
nor load any shared objects therein.
