ContainerTop: improve error message

If "ps" fails, in many cases it prints a meaningful error message
which a user can benefit from. Let's use it.

While at it, let's use errdefs.System to classify the error,
as well as errors.Wrap.

Before:

> $ docker top $CT <any bad ps options>
> Error response from daemon: Error running ps: exit status 1

After:

> $ docker top $CT auxm
> Error response from daemon: ps: error: thread display conflicts with forest display

or

> $ docker top $CT saur
> Error response from daemon: ps: error: conflicting format options

or, if there's no meaningful error on stderr, same as before:

> $ docker top $CT 1234
> Error response from daemon: ps: exit status 1
