The run.oci.systemd.subgroup annotation previously defaulted to creating a "container" sub-cgroup on cgroup v2 systems if the annotation was not specified. This change alters the behavior so that no sub-cgroup is created by default.

A sub-cgroup will only be created if the
run.oci.systemd.subgroup annotation is explicitly provided with a non-empty value.

Closes: #1766

Summary by Sourcery

Change default systemd sub-cgroup behavior to only create a sub-cgroup when the run.oci.systemd.subgroup annotation is explicitly set with a non-empty value.

Enhancements:

  • Make run.oci.systemd.subgroup default to no sub-cgroup instead of "container" and return NULL in code when unset.

Documentation:

  • Update man pages and Markdown docs to reflect that no sub-cgroup is created by default unless explicitly configured.

The PR changes the default behavior of the run.oci.systemd.subgroup annotation so that no sub-cgroup is created unless explicitly set, updating documentation (man page and Markdown) to reflect this and modifying the runtime logic to return NULL instead of a default “container” on cgroup v2.
