This code was missing a check for the ID field before truncating it to a
shorter length for presentation. This would result in a panic if an event
would either have an empty ID field or a shorter length ID;
panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range [:12] with length 0

We need to look at this code in general; the truncated ID is passed to
NewStats, which uses the ID to propagate the `Container` field in the
`StatsEntry` struct. which is not used in the default format used by
`docker stats` and, having the same content as the `ID` field on the
same struct, doesn't make it very useful, other than being able to
present it under a `CONTAINER` column (instead of `CONTAINER ID`);
we should consider deprecating it; there may be some subtle things
to look into here; the `Container` field originally held the container
name. This was changed in [moby@ef915fd], which introduced separate
`ID` and `Name` fields, renaming the old `Name` field to container.
Looking at [`Stats.SetStatistics()`] and related code in [stats_helpers.go],
the `Container` field is used as the "canonical" reference for the stats
record; this allows the stats _data_ to be refreshed when a new stats
sample arrives for the same container (also see [moby@929a77b], which
moved locking to the `Stats` wrapper struct). This construct allows to
account for intermediate states, where a stats sample was incomplete
or could produce an error; in that case, the reference to the container
for which the stats were sampled is kept to allow removing a container
from the list once the container was removed. We should consider removing
`Container` as a formatting option, and moving the `Container` field to
the outer struct; this makes the outer struct responsible for keeping a
reference to the container, allowing the `StatsEntry` as a whole to be
replaced atomically.
This patch only addresses the panic;
- It changes the logic to preserve the container ID verbatim instead
of truncating. This allows stats samples to be matched against the
`Actor.ID` as-is.
- Truncating the `Container` is moved to the presentation logic;
currently this does not take `--no-trunc` into account to keep
the existing behavior, but we can (should) consider adding this.
- Logging is improved to use structured logs, and an extra check is
added to prevent empty IDs from being added as watcher.
