Move all files that defines Facter::Resolvers::Linux::* into the lib/facter/resolvers/linux directory. Also only load them on Linux systems as they are Linux-specific.
All other filesystems resolvers are named "filesystems" (plural), so match the same name because all these resolvers have the same purpose.
FreeBSD has containers (jails) but already handled through the 'virutal' resolver, so for now we just consider Linux being able to handle containers as the code aleady depend on Linux-specific resolvers.

We should not call Linux-specific code from a non-Linux system. This cross-platform utility class needs to skip Linux code when running on a non-linux platform.

I fixed the mistakes that caused the jRuby failures. Interesting it did not failed with other implementations of Ruby 🤷 |

We should not call Linux-specific code from a non-Linux system. Before #15, the Linux-specific code was unexpectedly loaded, and the Linux resolver was non-functional on FreeBSD, causing a warning to be output. With #15, the Linux specific code is not loaded anymore, breaking further the fact resolution.
In order to fix this, the virtual_detector code needs to either be split into platform-specific pieces, or take care to only call platform-specific code on these platforms. Given this is a utility class, I chose the second route, and since the Linux-specific code is now only loaded on Linux, rely on the namespace existing or not to determine if we should run that code.
