[pkg-go] Bug#877146: update to runc (1.0.0~rc4) breaks docker

[Bálint Réczey]

Control: clone -1 -2
Control: reassign -2 docker.io 1.13.1~ds1-2
Control: retitle -2 docker.io: Please switch to using docker-runc

Hi,

I'm fixing the original bug by adding Breaks: with current docker.io version
to runc, please switch to using docker-runc in docker.io.

Thanks,
Balint
