// This is a specialized backend that may be useful for deployments
// using large (multi-GB) single-layer images *and* where more recent
// kernel features such as overlayfs are not available (overlayfs-based
// backend tracked by MESOS-2971). For small images (10's to 100's of MB)
// the copy backend may be sufficient. NOTE:
// 1) BindBackend supports only a single layer. Multi-layer images will
//    fail to provision and the container will fail to launch!
// 2) The filesystem is read-only because all containers using this
//    image share the source. Select writable areas can be achieved by
//    mounting read-write volumes to places like /tmp, /var/tmp,
//    /home, etc. using the ContainerInfo. These can be relative to
//    the executor work directory.
//    N.B. Since the filesystem is read-only:
//    i.  The '--sandbox_directory' must already exist within the
//        filesystem because the filesystem isolator is unable to
//        create it!
//    ii. The 'tmpfs' moint point '/tmp' must already exist within
//        the filesystem, because 'pivot_root' needs a mount point
//        for the old root.
// 3) It's fast because the bind mount requires (nearly) zero IO.
