Add socket_path to containerd tables (#47987)

<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or
remove if NA -->
**Related issue:** Resolves #48006.

Adds a new field `socket_path` in both `containerd_containers` and
`containerd_mounts`. We keep the previous default when no `socket_path`
is requested in the filter; otherwise, we honor the value passed from
the incoming query.

Test case:

Ran a `make fleetd-tables-linux`, started some containers, then used
osquery:

# Checklist for submitter

If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line.

- [ ] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`,
`orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`.
See [Changes
files](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/guides/committing-changes.md#changes-files)
for more information.

- [ ] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted
data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell
metacharacters.
- [ ] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite
loops
- [ ] If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards
compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes

## Testing

- [ ] Added/updated automated tests
- [ ] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and
test for host
isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing)
(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)

- [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

For unreleased bug fixes in a release candidate, one of:

- [ ] Confirmed that the fix is not expected to adversely impact load
test results
- [ ] Alerted the release DRI if additional load testing is needed

## Database migrations

- [ ] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will
auto-update timestamps during migration.
- [ ] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not
cause unwanted side effects.
- [ ] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character
columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`).

## New Fleet configuration settings

- [ ] Setting(s) is/are explicitly excluded from GitOps

If you didn't check the box above, follow this checklist for
GitOps-enabled settings:

- [ ] Verified that the setting is exported via `fleetctl
generate-gitops`
- [ ] Verified the setting is documented in a separate PR to [the GitOps
documentation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Configuration/yaml-files.md#L485)
- [ ] Verified that the setting is cleared on the server if it is not
supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional)
- [ ] Verified that any relevant UI is disabled when GitOps mode is
enabled

## fleetd/orbit/Fleet Desktop

- [ ] Verified compatibility with the latest released version of Fleet
(see [Must
rule](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/workflows/fleetd-development-and-release-strategy.md))
- [ ] If the change applies to only one platform, confirmed that
`runtime.GOOS` is used as needed to isolate changes
- [ ] Verified that fleetd runs on macOS, Linux and Windows
- [ ] Verified auto-update works from the released version of component
to the new version (see [tools/tuf/test](../tools/tuf/test/README.md))

## Summary by CodeRabbit

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added an optional `socket_path` column to `containerd_containers` and
`containerd_mounts`.
* Containerd queries can now target a specific socket path, and results
report the socket path used (defaulting to
`/run/containerd/containerd.sock` when not provided).

* **Documentation**
* Updated Fleet and table schemas with the new `socket_path` column and
example queries (including common k3s socket paths).

* **Tests**
* Added Linux-only coverage to verify default vs explicitly provided
`socket_path` behavior.
