Series audit: implement container id | expand

Commit Message

Check if a task has existing children or co-threads and refuse to set
the container ID if either are present.  Failure to check this could
permit games where a child scratches its parent's back to work around
inheritance and double-setting policy.

I would just include this in patch 1/2 as I can't think of world where
we wouldn't this check.
