How to use LXC local image for new machine

[fengxia]

According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1650651, juju 2.1 
supports using local image if its alias is `juju/series/arch` format.

So following this, I created a local image and gave it an alias of this 
format, but juju deploy will still download ubuntu-trusty before 
creating the container.

Below is dump from `lxc image [image-name] info`:
