libcgroup: Introduce a unload cgroups API

This API will unload the cgroups created in the cgroupfs and
unmount and delete the filesystem mount point. The action is
equivalent to what is done currently in service cgconfig stop.

The reason for this API is to make sure we don't end up with a
asymmetric library API subset. Today an application program can
programatically through cgroup_config_load_config() load a
configuration file, but has no means to cleanup (including all
temporarily created groups).
