We want to support the scenario where we bind mount the nsresourced varlink socket into a container to allow nested containers where the outer container runs in its own transient range from nsresourced but can still allocate transient ranges for its own nested containers. To support this use case let's add support for delegation. Delegated ranges are allocated when allocating the primary range and are propagated 1:1 to the user namespace. We track delegated ranges in ".delegate" files in the userns registry so that they can't be used for other range allocations. We make one exception for delegated ranges though, if we get a request from a user namespace that is a child of the user namespace that owns the delegated ranges, we allow allocating from the delegated range. The parent userns already has full ownership over the child userns, so it doesn't matter that the parent userns and the child userns share the same range. This allows making use of delegated ranges without having to run another copy of nsresourced inside the parent userns to hand out from the delegated range. To support recursive delegations, we keep track of the previous owners of the delegated range and restore ownership to the last previous owner when the current owner is freed.
