On container rm, don't remove named mountpoints

This makes it so when calling `docker run --rm`, or `docker rm -v`, only
volumes specified without a name, e.g. `docker run -v /foo` instead of
`docker run -v awesome:/foo` are removed.

Note that all volumes are named, some are named by the user, some get a
generated name. This is specifically about how the volume was specified
on `run`, assuming that if the user specified it with a name they expect
it to persist after the container is cleaned up.

`docker run --rm -v /foo -v awesome:/bar busybox top`, the volume for `/foo` will be removed,

with the same logic -- if the original volume was specified with a name it will **not** be removed.
