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).

+# containerd-shim-runsc-v1
+
+> Note: This shim version is the recommended shim for containerd versions
+> greater than or equal to 1.2. For older versions of containerd, use
+> `gvisor-containerd-shim`.
+
+This document describes how to configure and use `containerd-shim-runsc-v1`.
+
+## Configuring Containerd 1.2
+
+To configure containerd 1.2 to use this shim, add the runtime to
+`/etc/containerd/config.toml` as follows:
+
+```
+[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.runsc]
+ runtime_type = "io.containerd.runsc.v1"
+ runtime_root = "/run/containerd/runsc"
+[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.runsc.options]
+ TypeUrl = "io.containerd.runsc.v1.options"
+```
+
+The configuration will optionally loaded from a file named `config.toml` in the
+`runtime_root` configured above.
+
+In order to pick up the new configuration, you may need to restart containerd:
+
+```shell
+sudo systemctl restart containerd
+```
+
+## Configuring Containerd 1.3 and above
+
+To configure containerd 1.3 to use this shim, add the runtime to
+`/etc/containerd/config.toml` as follows:
+
+```
+[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.runsc]
+ runtime_type = "io.containerd.runsc.v1"
+[plugins.cri.containerd.runtimes.runsc.options]
+ TypeUrl = "io.containerd.runsc.v1.options"
+ ConfigPath = "/etc/containerd/runsc.toml"
+```
+
+The `ConfigPath` above will be used to provide a pointer to the configuration
+file to be loaded.
+
+> Note that there will be configuration file loaded if `ConfigPath` is not set.
+
+In order to pick up the new configuration, you may need to restart containerd:
+
+```shell
+sudo systemctl restart containerd
+```
+## Shim Confguration
+
+The shim configuration may carry the following options:
+
+* `shim_cgroup`: The cgroup to use for the shim itself.
+* `io_uid`: The UID to use for pipes.
+* `ui_gid`: The GID to use for pipes.
+* `binary_name`: The runtime binary name (defaults to `runsc`).
+* `root`: The root directory for the runtime.
+* `runsc_config`: A dictionary of key-value pairs that will be passed to the
+ runtime as arguments.
+
+### Example: Enable the KVM platform
+
+gVisor enables the use of a number of platforms. This example shows how to
+configure `containerd-shim-runsc-v1` to use gVisor with the KVM platform:
+
+```shell
+cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/containerd/runsc.toml
+[runsc_config]
+platform = "kvm"
+EOF
+```
+
+### Example: Enable gVisor debug logging
+
+gVisor debug logging can be enabled by setting the `debug` and `debug-log` flag.
+The shim will replace "%ID%" with the container ID in the path of the
+`debug-log` flag.
+
+```shell
+cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/containerd/runsc.toml
+[runsc_config]
+debug = true
+debug-log = /var/log/%ID%/gvisor.log
+EOF
+```
