Namespaces are not all hierarchical and processes aren't always in leaves. Also punt to config-linux.md for details about namespace creation, although currently that section doesn't talk much about how the runtime namespaces relate to new container namespaces (#795).

Also mention resource access, because runtime namespaces play a role even if no new container namespaces are created. I've used resources that currently explicitly mention runtime namespaces as examples, although I think more resources (e.g. root.path and mounts[].source, see here and here) deserve wording about that as well and would be better examples if they'd already landed such wording.

Spun off from #795. The first line is similar to #852, but for runtime namespaces instead of container namespaces.
