Description
Is it possible to add checkpointing support to sysbox-runc?
I tried to checkpoint a container running under sysbox and got the following error:
configured runtime does not support checkpoint/restore
Also noticed the checkpoint restore tests are disabled here:
https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox-runc/blob/60ca93c783b19c63581e34aa183421ce0b9b26b7/tests/integration/help.bats#L19

Research direction
Start with the disabled checkpoint/restore test reference in tests/integration/help.bats and reproduce the reported error when checkpointing a container under sysbox. Trace how sysbox-runc handles checkpoint/restore support; done means checkpointing and restoration work and the relevant tests can be enabled.
