libct: clean cached rlimit nofile in go runtime

As reported in issue #4195, the new version of go runtime will
cache rlimit-nofile. Before executing exec, the rlimit-nofile
of the process will be restored with the cache. In runc, this will
cause the rlimit-nofile set by the parent process for the container
to become invalid. This can be solved by clearing the cache.
