[Bug 1273725] Re: simplify adt-virt-lxc startup checks

[Martin Pitt]

** Description changed:

  Instead of our mad /var/lib/lxc/ poking, run "lxc-attach runlevel" and
  wait until it switches to 2 (or better, anything else than "unknown" or
- "S"), and also add a timeout.
+ "S"), and also add a timeout. That's more robust, and also should get us
+ rid of the cloud-init requirement, so that this starts working for more
+ generic containers.
  
  Also, drop the hardcoded "sudo" and replace it with a -s/--sudo virt-lxc
  option. That way you can still run adt-run as root, but decide whether
  to use system or user containers.
