The primary feature we get with this PR is support for filters and
labels on the image metadata store. In the process of doing this, the
conventions for the API have been converged between containers and
images, providing a model for other services.
With images, `Put` (renamed to `Update` briefly) has been split into a
`Create` and `Update`, allowing one to control the behavior around these
operations. `Update` now includes support for masking fields at the
datastore-level across both the containers and image service. Filters
are now just string values to interpreted directly within the data
store. This should allow for some interesting future use cases in which
the datastore might use the syntax for more efficient query paths.
The containers service has been updated to follow these conventions as
closely as possible.

Working from feedback on the existing implementation, we have now
introduced a central metadata object to represent the lifecycle and pin
the resources required to implement what people today know as
containers. This includes the runtime specification and the root
filesystem snapshots. We also allow arbitrary labeling of the container.
Such provisions will bring the containerd definition of container closer
to what is expected by users.
The objects that encompass today's ContainerService, centered around the
runtime, will be known as tasks. These tasks take on the existing
lifecycle behavior of containerd's containers, which means that they are
deleted when they exit. Largely, there are no other changes except for
naming.
The `Container` object will operate purely as a metadata object. No
runtime state will be held on `Container`. It only informs the execution
service on what is required for creating tasks and the resources in use
by that container. The resources referenced by that container will be
deleted when the container is deleted, if not in use. In this sense,
users can create, list, label and delete containers in a similar way as
they do with docker today, without the complexity of runtime locks that
plagues current implementations.
