Create trivial sys_checkpoint and sys_restore system calls. They will
enable to checkpoint and restart an entire container, to and from a
checkpoint image file descriptor.

The syscalls take a file descriptor (for the image file) and flags as
arguments. For sys_checkpoint the first argument identifies the target
container; for sys_restart it will identify the checkpoint image.
