linux-container: Check if nscd run directory exists when container is run.

* gnu/system/linux-container.scm (containerized-operating-system):
(container-script): Check for existence of the host nscd run directory in the
container script. This check should be run when the container is started, not
when the container script is created.
[network-mappings]: Delete variable.
[nscd-run-directory, nscd-mapping]: New variables.
