dd24cdc3d6 Fix incompatibility with LXC 3.0
LXC 3.0, unlike 2.1, doesn't support old configuration formats at all
and because our previous approach to handling old format was incomplete,
running `vagrant up` on a system with LXC 3.0 would fail, even if the
base box itself was made with modernized config.

This commit fixes this problem: is the box has a modern config, it's
going to be properly created and booted under LXC 3.0. It does so
without breaking the support for LXC < 2.1

553f1b5ed0 lxc-template: make runnable by unprivileged users
lxc-template needlessly require root privileges in two places:

1. lock file location for `flock`
2. failing on `tar` failure during rootfs extraction

For `flock`, it's not necessary that the lock file be in `/var/lock`, it
can be anywhere. Why not put it in `LXC_PATH`?

For the failing `tar` thing, that's because some device are created with
`mknod` which unprivileged users can't do. These device, however, are
not necessary for the container to run well. We can ignore `tar`'s error
exit code.

I replaced the exist code check by a check for the existence of
`/bin/true` in rootfs. I think that it's a good indication of whether
the rootfs was extracted.

Why am I making this change? Because I'd like to add support for
unprivileged containers in `vagrant-lxc` but it's kind of a big change
to make at once, so I thought I'd go incrementally.
