[Bug 1019398] [NEW] Allow creation of container root filesystem in a user defined location

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Public bug reported:

With the backing store 'none' the container root  filesystem will  be  a
directory under /var/lib/lxc/container/rootfs

It'd be nice to be able to store the root filesystem in a user defined
location and per container. Setting rootfs in lxc.conf doesn't work with
lxc-create.

The use case is systems with multiple drives dedicated to specific
activities (fast storage, high capacity, ...)
