For years it has been best practice to use a relative path as
the mount target. But the manpage hasn't reflect that. Fix it.

If the user specifies cgroup or cgroup-full without a specifier (:ro,
:rw or :mixed), this changes the behavior. Previously, these were
simple aliases for the :mixed variants; now they depend on whether the
container also has CAP_SYS_ADMIN; if it does they resolve to the :rw
variants, if it doesn't to the :mixed variants (as before).
If a container has CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges, any filesystem can be
remounted read-write from within, so initially mounting the cgroup
filesystems partially read-only as a default creates a false sense of
security. It is better to default to full read-write mounts to show the
administrator what keeping CAP_SYS_ADMIN entails.
If an administrator really wants both CAP_SYS_ADMIN and the :mixed
variant of cgroup or cgroup-full automatic mounts, they can still
specify that explicitly; this commit just changes the default without
specifier.

Ubuntu containers have had trouble with automatic cgroup mounting that
was not read-write (i.e. lxc.mount.auto = cgroup{,-full}:{ro,mixed}) in
containers without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Ubuntu's mountall program reads
/lib/init/fstab, which contains an entry for /sys/fs/cgroup. Since
there is no ro option specified for that filesystem, mountall will try
to remount it readwrite if it is already mounted. Without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, that fails and mountall will interrupt boot and wait for
user input on whether to proceed anyway or to manually fix it,
effectively hanging container bootup.
This patch makes sure that /sys/fs/cgroup is always a readwrite tmpfs,
but that the actual cgroup hierarchy paths (/sys/fs/cgroup/$subsystem)
are readonly if :ro or :mixed is used. This still has the desired
effect within the container (no cgroup escalation possible and programs
get errors if they try to do so anyway), while keeping Ubuntu
containers happy.

This introduces a new -g/--group argument to filter containers based on
their groups.
This supports the rather obvious: --group blah
Which will only list containers that are in group blah.
It may also be passed multiple times: --group blah --group bleh
Which will list containers that are in either (or both) blah or bleh.
And it also takes: --group blah,bleh --group doh
Which will list containers that are either in BOTH blah and bleh or in doh.

In this patch I tried to stick with each file's coding style, however I
think we should probably change that. Every main() should always not
return and only exit; they should always return EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE
with the only exceptions being cases where we are returning a child's
exit status (lxc_execute, lxc_attach, lxc_init).

It's often been reported that the behavior of lxc-create without -t is a
bit confusing. This change makes lxc-create require the --template
option and introduces a new "none" special value which when set will
fallback to the old template-less behavior.

When passed, this flag will cause lxc-autostart to ignore the value of
lxc.start.auto.
This then allows things like: lxc-autostart -s -a -A
Which will select all containers regardless of groups (-a), regardless
of whether they are actually marked as auto-started (-A) and will shut
them down (-s).
Update our init scripts to use the new feature.
