add -l, --load-interp <file> to load a binfmt_misc interpreter at startup.
The interpreter is loaded from the initial fileystem if the 'F' flags is
provided, otherwise from inside the new namespace
This makes possible to start a chroot of another architecture without
being root.
Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <laurent@xxxxxxxxx>
---
Notes:
v3:
- update man page
- load interpreter before the chroot only if there is the a chroot
v2:
- use <binfmt_mnt>/register rather than _PATH_PROC_BINFMT_MISC_REGISTER
to load the interpreter

+Load binfmt_misc definition in the namespace (implies *--mount-binfmt*). The __string__ argument is ``:name:type:offset:magic:mask:interpreter:flags``. For more details about new binary type registration see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst.
+To manage the F flag in ``flags`` with **--root** parameter, binfmt_misc is mounted twice, once before the chroot to load the interpreter from the caller filesystem and once after to make it available from the chroot userspace.

+``M``::: defines the interpreter for a given type of magic number
