[libvirt] [PATCH] Allow use of file images for LXC container filesystems

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>
A previous commit gave the LXC driver the ability to mount
block devices for the container filesystem. Through use of
the loopback device functionality, we can build on this to
support use of plain file images for LXC filesytems.
By setting the LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR flag we can ensure that
the loop device automatically disappears when the container
dies / shuts down
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Raise error if we see a file
based filesystem, since it should have been turned into
a loopback device already
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Rewrite any filesystems of
type=file, into type=block, by binding the file image
to a free loop device
