It is desirable to have a mode where a soft shutdown is requested,
but then do a hard shutdown if after some time period the container
has not shut down. This the default behaviour of lxc-stop, but is
not currently possible with lxc-autostart. This change makes this
the default behaviour when shutdown is specified to lxc-autostart.
This will be very useful for init scripts.
An indefinte wait for soft shutdown (though I'm not sure how that
would be useful) is still possible by passing a timeout of 0.
Change default timeout value to 60 seconds to match lxc-stop

This introduces a new lxc-autostart binary (and associated manpage)
which will let you start/shutdown/kill/restart any container that's
marked as lxc.start.auto=1. It respects the lxc.start.delay value,
sorts by lxc.start.order and filters by lxc.group.
By default it'll affect all containers that DO NOT have lxc.group
set. If -g is specified, ONLY containers in those group will be
affected. To have a command applied to all containers, the -a
argument can be used.
A -L flag is also offered for distributions wishing to start the
containers themselves while still using LXC's calculated order and
wait delays. Instead of performing the action, it'll print the container
name and (if relevant for the action) the wait time.
