Devices are not namespaced in the Linux kernel.
Device-node paths are not dependent on any particular path in a mount namespace.
They are referred to globally by their major and minor number.

This was only working before for devices that had the same path in-container as on-host.
This patch creates a device-node in the sandbox container for the proper in-container specified path.

Fixes #646

I verified this makes volumes mount properly in vm's with containerd as the runtime.

Tested it manually and it works great.
The test fails for docker+docker-bridge on CI consistently. But I couldn't reproduce it running it on my machine. It fails when stopping the VM. The test works fine without stopping the first VM, the file is accessible from the second VM. Maybe we can avoid the VM stop for now and deal with the stop issue separately.

// This is the e2e package to run tests for Ignite
// Currently, we do local e2e tests only
// we have to wait until the CI setup to allow Ignite to run with sudo and in a KVM environment.
