libct: fix shared pidns detection

When someone is using libcontainer to start and kill containers from a
long lived process (i.e. the same process creates and removes the
container), initProcess.wait method is used, which has a kludge to work
around killing containers that do not have their own PID namespace.

The code that checks for own PID namespace is not entirely correct.
To be exact, it does not set sharePidns flag when the host/caller PID
namespace is implicitly used. As a result, the above mentioned kludge
does not work.

Fix the issue, add a test case (which fails without the fix).
