    Remove chrony if inside a container
    
    When running ceph-mon in containers, best practice is
    to have chrony/ntp configured and installed on the bare
    metal and then have the container trust the system
    clock, as the container should not manage the system
    clock.
    
    The chrony package get installed automatically as
    part of the dependencies of other packages, which
    gets removed in this change.
    
    Also contains related changes for charms.ceph.

Title:
  In bionic, one of the ceph packages installed causes chrony to auto-
  install even on lxd

Status in OpenStack ceph-mon charm:
  Fix Committed
Status in ceph package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When running ceph-mon in containers, best practice is to have
  chrony/ntp configured and installed on the bare metal and then have
  the container trust the system clock, as the container should not
  manage the system clock.

  It seems that in source=cloud:bionic-stein, ceph-base package ends up
  installing chrony automatically as a recommended package.

  chrony should not be installed in the LXD context of this charm.  If
  it's possible to remove chrony from the recommended package list or to
  have the charm remove chrony if ceph-base is installed in a lxd, that
  wouuld be preferable to having to adding the NTP charm to configure
  chrony in a lxd, or to have to disable the chrony service.
