lxd init on 16.04

[Daniel Bidwell]

I tried the "dpkg-reconfigure lxd" several times and it didn't make any
difference.  I discovered that I had an old lxc package that was
installed and upgraded to lxc1.  I removed lxc1 and lxc-net and tried
to purge all of their old config files.

I then did the "dpkg-reconfiugre lxd" again and "lxd init".  Still no
luck.

I looked in /var/lib/lxd and removed all of the image files.  There was
still a directory in /var/lib/lxd/images
of d69bf4853c7b88399d57bcbb4250798d93de0aa9a10f104fbb0902573e1dfef0.zfs
which I had to unmount.  The directory that it was supposed to have
been mounted from was not visible.

Still no luck with the "lxd init".  I want to make lxd get it's storage
from my zfs file system.  What else might lxd be looking at that needs
to be cleaned out?
