Libvirt-lxc User Namespace Support

Registered by Andrew Melton

User namespaces provide a way for a process running in a container to appear to
be running as root, but are in fact running as a different user on the host.
The objective of this feature is to allow deployers to enable and configure
which users and groups are mapped between container and host.
