lxc-start -c makes the named file/device the container's console, but using
this with a regular file in order to get a log of the console output does
not work very well if you also want to login on the console. This change
implements an additional option (-L) to simply log the console's output to
a file.
Both options can be used separately or together. For example to get a usable
console and log: lxc-start -n name -c /dev/tty8 -L console.log
The console state is cleaned up more when lxc_delete_console is called, and
some of the clean up paths in lxc_create_console were fixed.
The lxc_priv and lxc_unpriv macros were modified to make use of gcc's local
label feature so they can be expanded more than once in the same function.

Add option to create a pidfile for lxc-start. This is helpful for
init scripts and process monitors when running as daemon.

The package 'docbook-tools' [1] required to format Docbook 3.0 into man pages
has been obsoleted a long time ago and can no longer be downloaded from its
former homepage. Recent versions of that package -- now called 'docbook2X' --,
cannot deal with that old markup format anymore (and don't support the '-w all'
command line switch either). To remedy these issues, all SGML files have been
updated to Docbook 4.5 so that recent versions of docbook2man can process them.

I was getting raw nroff ".SH DESCRIPTION" in my man pages. This fixes
the synopsis cmd args so that doesn't happen. Added replaceable to a few
arguments.

That will make mute the container, the logs can help
