Containers sharing a netns should share resolv/hosts

When sharing a network namespace, containers should also share
resolv.conf and /etc/hosts in case a container process made
changes to either (for example, if I set up a VPN client in
container A and join container B to its network namespace, I
expect container B to use the DNS servers from A to ensure it can
see everything on the VPN).

Resolves: #1546
