There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository

docker: Fix service startup under WSL2
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/46667

Description:
#### Testing the changes
- I tested the changes in this PR: **YES** (`xlint docker` + `./xbps-src pkg -Q docker`)
- I tested that the Docker service is working under WSL: **YES** (see below)

```
PS C:\Users\Cheeba> wsl -u root bash -ic "cat /etc/sv/docker/run"
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
[ -r conf ] && . ./conf
modprobe -q loop || exit 1
mountpoint -q /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd || {
    mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd;
    mount -t cgroup -o none,name=systemd cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd;
}

#### Motivation behind the changes

I played around with using Void Linux under WSL2 and struggled to get the Docker service started up. Eventually I realized that the `modprobe -q loop` command would *always* fail under WSL2, because there is no directory `/lib/modules`, so `modprobe` is essentially useless under WSL2. I think there are other mechanisms involved when loading the WSL2 kernel and modules. Either way, Docker runs very well with these changes.

I understand that Void Linux is not officially supported by Microsoft (and probably vice-versa), and there's manual steps involved installing it, but I thought why not make Docker run for everybody nonetheless?

These changes should make the Docker service run both natively and under WSL2.
