Tweak container initialization to make upstart/init happier
Upstart crashes & burns in a heap if $TERM environment variable is missing. Presumably the kernel always sets this when booting init on a real machine, so libvirt should set it for containers too. To make a typical inittab / mingetty setup happier, we need to symlink the primary console /dev/pts/0 to /dev/tty1. Improve logging in certain scenarios to make troubleshooting easier * src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Create /dev/tty1 and set $TERM
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
