Revert "Use real chroot if daemon is running in a user namespace"

This change was introduced early in the development of rootless support,
before all the kinks were worked out and rootlesskit was built. The
author was testing the daemon by inside a user namespace set up by runc,
observed that the unshare(2) syscall was returning EPERM, and assumed
that it was a fundamental limitation of user namespaces. Seeing as the
kernel documentation (of today) disagrees with that assessment and that
unshare demonstrably works inside user namespaces, I can only assume
that the EPERM was due to a quirk of their test environment, such as a
seccomp filter set up by runc blocking the unshare syscall.

Mount namespaces are necessary to address #38995 and #43390. Revert the
special-casing so those issues can also be fixed for rootless daemons.

This reverts commit dc950567c1.
