set_cgroup_item takes a pointer to a running container, a cgroup subsystem
name, and a char *value and it mimicks
	'lxc-cgroup -n containername subsys value'
get_cgroup_item takes a pointer to a running container, a a cgroup
subsystem name, a destination value * and the length of the value being
sent in, and returns the length of what was read from the cgroup file.
If a 0 len is passed in, then the length of the file is returned.  So
you can do

	len = c->get_cgroup_item(c, "devices.list", NULL, 0);
	v = malloc(len+1);
	ret = c->get_cgroup_item(c, "devices.list", v, len);

to read the whole file.

This patch also disables the lxc-init part of the startone test, which
was failing because lxc-init has been moved due to multiarch issues.
The test is salvagable, but saving it was beyond this effort.

This restores an old behaviour where lxc-create can be called without
a template. In such case, only a minimal configuration is built and no
rootfs is created. However the various backingstore code is still used.

When a physical nic is being set up, store its ifindex and original name
in struct lxc_conf.  At reboot, reset the original name.
We can't just go over the original network list in lxc_conf at shutdown
because that may be tweaked in the meantime through the C api.  The
saved_nics list is only setup during lxc_spawn(), and restored and
freed after lxc_start.

previously would have, so make sure that all the devices it would have

To achieve this, we have to first mount /dev, then run MAKEDEV, then
run setup_autodev to populate the rest of /dev.
