And historically speaking setting audit loginuid produces a LOGIN
event, so it only makes sense to consider binding container ID to
container as a CONTAINER event. For other supplemental records, we name
things what they are: PATH, CWD, SOCKADDR, etc. So, CONTAINER_ID makes
sense. CONTAINER_OP sounds like its for operations on a container. Do
we have any operations on a container?
