In #2430 (comment), I considered disabling IBPB/STIBP to improve the performance impact on bytecode interpreters.
This commit adds the flag which disables IBPB/STIBP mitigation for container.

This flag disables IBPB/STIBP mitigation for container.
It is needed to improve the performance of bytecode interpreters
when users do not need IBPB/STIBP mitigation.

is it something worth adding to the runtime specs?

@giuseppe Thank you.
I reconsidered this feature will be needed from other container runtimes and some use cases.
So, I want to discuss this feature in opencontainers/runtime-spec#1047 at first.
I'll continue this PR after that.
