add IPv6 support
The general idea is that all LXC containers will now have IPv6
activated, wether they need it or not. The lxc_install_lxc command
also has an optional IPv6 argument which is semantically equivalent to
the IPv6 prefix but for the IPv6 private range.

NAT is activated for IPv6 because it only relies on private IP
ranges. If an LXC container needs to be associated with a public IPv6,
it will need to be proxied, it won't be available publicly.

lxc-helpers.sh - LXC container management helpers
SYNOPSIS
lxc-helpers.sh [-v|--verbose] [-h|--help]
[-o|--os {bookworm|bullseye} (default bookworm)]
command [arguments]
lxc-helpers.sh [-v|--verbose] [-h|--help]
[-o|--os {bookworm|bullseye} (default bookworm)]
[-c|--config {unprivileged lxc libvirt docker k8s} (default "lxc libvirt docker")]
lxc_container_create [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
A thin shell based layer on top of LXC to create, populate, run and
destroy LXC containers. A container is created from a copy of an
existing container.
The LXC network is configured to provide a NAT'ed IP address (IPv4
and IPv6) to each container, in a configurable private range.
CREATE AND DESTROY
lxc_prepare_environment
Install LXC dependencies.
lxc_container_create `name`
Create the `name` container.
lxc_container_mount `name` `path`
Configure `name` container to bind mount `path` so that it is
also accessible at `path` from within the container.
lxc_container_start `name`
Start the `name` container.
lxc_container_stop `name`
Stop the `name` container.
lxc_container_destroy `name`
Call lxc_container_stop `name` and destroy the container.
lxc_template_release
Echo the name of the container for the Operating System
specified with `--os`.
lxc_build_template `existing_container` `new_container`
Copy `existing_container` into `new_container`. If
`existing_container` is equal to $(lxc-helpers.sh lxc_template_release) it
will be created on demand.
CONFIGURATION
The `--config` option provides preset configurations appended to the `/var/lib/lxc/name/config`
file when the container is created with the `lxc_container_create` command. They are required
to run the corresponding subsystem:
* `docker` https://www.docker.com/
* `lxc` https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/
* `libvirt` https://libvirt.org/
* `k8s` https://kubernetes.io/
* `unprivileged` none of the above
Example: lxc-helpers.sh --config "docker libvirt" lxc_container_create mycontainer
The `unprivileged` configuration does not add anything.
ACTIONS IN THE CONTAINER
For some command lxc_something `name` that can be called from outside the container
there is an equivalent function lxc_something_inside that can be called from inside
the container.
lxc_install_lxc `name` `prefix` [`prefixv6`]
lxc_install_lxc_inside `prefix` [`prefixv6`]
Install LXC in the `name` container to allow the creation of
named containers. `prefix` is a class C IP prefix from which
containers will obtain their IP (for instance 10.40.50). `prefixv6`
is an optional IPv6 private address prefix that defaults to fc15.
lxc_container_run `name` command [options...]
Run the `command` within the `name` container.
lxc_container_run_script `name` `path`
lxc_container_run_script_as `name` `user` `path`
Run the script found at `path` within the `name` container. The
environment is cleared before running the script. The first form
will run as root, the second form will impersonate `user`.
lxc_container_user_install `name` `user_id` `user` [`homedir` default `/home`]
Create the `user` with `user_id` in the `name` container with a
HOME at `/homedir/user`. Passwordless sudo permissions are
granted to `user`. It is made a member of the groups docker, kvm
and libvirt if they exist already. A SSH key is created.
Example: lxc_container_user_install mycontainer $(id -u) $USER
