Tim Gross 682c8c0c81 cgroupslib: allow initial controller check with delegated cgroups v2 (#23803)
During Nomad client initialization with cgroups v2, we assert that the required
cgroup controllers are available in the root `cgroup.subtree_control` file by
idempotently writing to the file. But if Nomad is running with delegated
cgroups, this will fail file permissions checks even if the subtree control file
already has the controllers we need.

Update the initialization to first check if the controllers are missing before
attempting to write to them. This allows cgroup delegation so long as the
cluster administrator has pre-created a Nomad owned cgroups tree and set the
`Delegate` option in a systemd override. If not, initialization fails in the
existing way.

Although this is one small step along the way to supporting a rootless Nomad
client, running Nomad as non-root is still unsupported. I've intentionally not
documented setting up cgroup delegation in this PR, as this PR is insufficient
by itself to have a secure and properly-working rootless Nomad client.
