Bug Description

Make a few updates to how lxc-create chooses a backing store:

1. allow '-B btrfs,zfs,dir' to specify order of preference
2. allow '-B ANY' which chooses the best available - best being somewhat subjective. Choices would be:
    1. if $lxcpath is btrfs, use btrfs with subvolume
    2. if a zfsroot called 'lxc' (or whatever is specified in /etc/lxc/lxc.conf) exists, use zfs
    3. if a lvm vg called 'lxc' (or whatever is specified in /etc/lxc/lxc.conf) exists, use lvm with default fstype/size
    4. use dir
3. It is yet to be decided whether when -B is not specified, and $lxcpath is btrfs, a btrfs subvolume should be created.

---------------
lxc (1.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  * Add allow-stderr to autopkgtst restrictions as the Ubuntu template
    uses policy-rc.d to disable some daemons and that causes a message to
    be printed on stderr when the service tries to start.
