Ok so for now, lets package the docker-runc and docker-containerd in the 
docker package and use them under
/usr/libexec/docker.  Lets not package containerd until someone figures 
a use case of it outside of docker in parallel
with docker.  We will continue to ship runc outside of docker at its own 
independent package.
