Subject: [PATCH] [LXC] Detect support for NETNS in lxc driver initialization

Allow check for containers support to be done without CLONE_NEWNET, and then
determine support on the fly by checking for iproute2 support and a
successful clone(CLONE_NEWNET).  This lets us set a flag for later, as well
as not completely disable LXC support on a system without NETNS support.
