Update shim to build using bazel.
The go.mod dependency tree for the shim was somehow contradictory. After resolving these issues (e.g. explicitly imported k8s 1.14, pulling a specific dbus version), and adding all dependencies, the shim can now be build as part of the regular bazel tree. As part of this process, minor cleanup was done in all the source files: headers were standardized (and include "The gVisor Authors" in addition to the "The containerd Authors" if originally derived from containerd sources), and comments were cleaned up to meet coding standards. This change makes the containerd installation dynamic, so that multiple versions can be tested, and drops the static installer for the VM image itself. This change also updates test/root/crictl_test.go and related utilities, so that the containerd tests can be run on any version (and in cases where it applies, they can be run on both v1 and v2 as parameterized tests).

+# gvisor-containerd-shim
+
+> Note: This shim version is supported only for containerd versions less than
+> 1.2. If you are using a containerd version greater than or equal to 1.2, then
+> please use `containerd-shim-runsc-v1` (Shim API v1).
+>
+> This containerd shim is supported only in a best-effort capacity.
+
+This document describes how to configure and use `gvisor-containerd-shim`.
+
+## Containerd Configuration
+
+To use this shim, you must configure `/etc/containerd/config.toml` as follows:
+
+```
+[plugins.linux]
+ shim = "/usr/bin/gvisor-containerd-shim"
+[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.gvisor]
+ runtime_type = "io.containerd.runtime.v1.linux"
+ runtime_engine = "/usr/bin/runsc"
+ runtime_root = "/run/containerd/runsc"
+```
+
+In order to pick-up the new configuration, you may need to restart containerd:
+
+```shell
+sudo systemctl restart containerd
+```
+
+## Shim Confguration
+
+The shim configuration is stored in `/etc/containerd/runsc.toml`. The
+configuration file supports two values.
+
+* `runc_shim`: The path to the runc shim. This is used by
+ `gvisor-containerd-shim` to run standard containers.
+
+* `runsc_config`: This is a set of key/value pairs that are converted into
+ `runsc` command line flags. You can learn more about which flags are available
+ by running `runsc flags`.
+
+For example, a configuration might look as follows:
+
+```
+runc_shim = "/usr/local/bin/containerd-shim"
+[runsc_config]
+platform = "kvm"
+debug = true
+debug-log = /var/log/%ID%/gvisor.log
+```
