If neither of those conditions hold, the JVM runs in not containerized mode, addressing the issue described in the JBS tracker. For example, on my Linux system `is_containerized() == false" is being indicated with the following trace log line:

Note that the current container tests assert that `OSContainer::is_containerized() == true` in various tests. Therefore, using the heuristic of "is any memory or cpu limit present" isn't sufficient. I had considered that in an earlier iteration, but many container tests failed.
