[Bug 914676] [NEW] Support clean container reboot vs shutdown disambiguation

[Serge Hallyn]

Public bug reported:

Lxc currently disambiguates reboot from shutdown in a container by
looking at the container's utmp.  This means the container can't mount
over /run, which in turn leads to a slew of other hacks.

1. Push the kernel patch by Daniel Lezcano which allows lxc to tell what
the container wanted to do based on WTERMSIG(status).

2. Exploit this in lxc in place of the utmp watching.

3. Remove all the hacks in lxcguest surrounding the utmp hack.
