Reuse the same rootfs for the inner and outer container

Remove the need to copy the Dangerzone container image (used by the
inner container) within a wrapper gVisor image (used by the outer
container). Instead, use the root of the container filesystem for both
containers. We can do this safely because we don't mount any secrets to
the container, and because gVisor offers a read-only view of the
underlying filesystem

Fixes #1048

 Dangerzone has relied on the container runtime available in each supported
 operating system (Docker Desktop on Windows / macOS, Podman on Linux) to isolate
 the host from the sanitization process. The problem with this type of isolation
