Add the three namespace lifecycle hooks and make them available to bpf
lsm program types. This allows bpf to supervise namespace creation. I'm
in the process of adding various "universal truth" bpf programs to
systemd that will make use of this. This e.g., allows to lock in a
program into a given set of namespaces.
