Update shim each time propellor is run in a container, to deal with library version changes.
Surprised this didn't come up before, since propellor was run against
progressively old versions of libraries when propelling eg, a chroot.
It finally broke on an arm box, where libm got updated to a new version
and propellor used a symbol from the new version.
The comment says that propellor may be running from an existing shim
in which case it's reused. That could be a nested chroot or other
container, or perhaps propellor was deployed via a precompiled tarball
which is built using a shim. The code used to use "checkAlreadyShimmed shim"
which I don't see how it deals with either of those scenarios.
Changed to "checkAlreadyShimmed propellorbin", which I think will deal with
them, but I've not tested such scenarios.
Added code to delete old versions of libraries out of the shim directory
to avoid masses of old ones piling up over time. Property.Chroot sets up
the shim directory and then bind mounts it into the chroot. To avoid
deleting the source of a bind mount, made this only delete files in the
shim directory, but not the shim directory itself.
