exeseal: do not use F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE

Prior to kernel Linux 5.5, F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE has a bug which maps
memory as shared between processes even if it is set as private. See
kernel commit 05d351102dbe ("mm, memfd: fix COW issue on MAP_PRIVATE and
F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE mappings") for more details.

According to the man pages, F_SEAL_WRITE is enough:

  Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via
  mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM.

  Using the F_ADD_SEALS operation to set the F_SEAL_WRITE seal fails
  with EBUSY if any writable, shared mapping exists. Such mappings must
  be unmapped before you can add this seal.

F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE only makes sense if a read-write shared mapping in
one process should be read-only in another process. This is not case for
runc, especially not for the /proc/self/exe we are protecting.
