nspawn: also fall back to legacy cgroup hierarchy for old containers

Current systemd version detection routine cannot detect systemd 230,
only systmed >= 231. This means that we'll still use the legacy hierarchy
in some cases where we wouldn't have too. If somebody figures out a nice
way to detect systemd 230 this can be later improved.
