[PATCH v2 1/1] ubuntu_lxc: lxc-tests is deprecated - fetch tests from origin

[Khalid Elmously]

From: Khalid El Mously <khalid.elmously at canonical.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772507

The lxc-tests package doesn't exist in Bionic and later. For those releases, clone the 'lxc' repo from github and copy the tests to /usr/bin

Tested on Xenial and Bionic
