Clear Linux containers running as root may have no /etc/passwd. But
they'll have /etc/machine-id because systemd creates that. Also test
/proc/version (a Linux-specific file) because that isn't writeable even
by root.
Take the opportunity to check with access() instead of assuming root and
only root can write to the file.
