Description of execCPUAffinity.final field (added in #1253) said that if it's not set or empty, the final affinity is the one of container's cgroup. This was done because we thought the kernel changes process' CPU affinity to one of cgroup. It's not the case (see here).

To keep runtimes simple, it makes sense to not do anything if the final affinity is not explicitly set. This change does just that.

I'm fine with new wording.

However, in overall, I'd prefer to have that field to be not only for exec, but for all stages of container lifecycle, as we have ideas on how it might be useful in some corner case scenarios even for pid 1 of container... But that's another story :)

We can rename it to "CPUAffinity" and apply to both exec and init. Feel free to open a PR.

As per
 - opencontainers/runtime-spec#1253
 - opencontainers/runtime-spec#1261

Add some tests (alas it's impossible to test initial CPU affinity
without adding debug logging).
