mount: Allow relative mount destinations on Linux

We tried to make runc enforce abs dest path several times, and always had to revert it due to some tools not yet doing it. The last occurrence is this one: opencontainers/runc#3944 (comment) I don't see any reason to force abs dst paths on Linux, as far as I know there is no security bug nor anything. Let's just relax the spec wording, matching all the runtimes behavior when the paths is relative, and be done with it. Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Campos <[email protected]>
