Subject: [PATCH] basic/virt: try the /proc/1/sched hack also for PID1

If a container manager does not set $container, we could end up
in a strange situation when detect-virt returns container-other when
run as non-pid-1 and none when run as pid-1.

(cherry picked from commit 342bed02084c4396dd2f1054bd559bfb2699cfcb)
Resolves: #1868877
