Valentin Rothberg 1b6423e9f1 refine dangling checks
By proxy by vendoring containers/common. Previously, a "dangling" image
was an untagged image; just a described in the Docker docs. The
definition of dangling has now been refined to an untagged image without
children to be compatible with Docker.

Further update a redundant image-prune test.
