[bug#56858] [PATCH] gnu: libcgroup: Update to 2.0.2.

[muradm]

Previous version was also built from sources.

I didn't find it feasible to battle with bootstraping
for this version either. Tests are very intrusive and/or
containerized with lxc. So yeah, as per their process, there
are tons of things to be done manually from bootstraping.

May be sometime in the future if they will move to more
modern project layout, that could become feasible.
