Description

### Feature or enhancement request details

Please expose a no-new-privileges process control in `container`. The lower-layer OCI/runtime support already exists; the CLI and persisted configuration do not currently make it available to container users.

The proposed scope is deliberately backward compatible:

- persist a `noNewPrivileges` process setting through CLI and configuration;
- enforce it monotonically for both container init and `container exec`, so an init setting cannot be weakened by an exec request;
- retain a `false` default and decode older configurations without change; and
- cover parser, process-configuration, and init/exec acceptance paths.

This would provide a narrow, opt-in control without changing existing default behavior.

Research direction

Start by tracing the container CLI and persisted configuration into process configuration, then inspect the existing lower-layer OCI/runtime support. Check the parser and init/exec acceptance paths; done means the setting persists, defaults to false for older configurations, cannot be weakened for exec, and the requested paths are covered.
