Title:
  lxc-ls doesn't show nested containers when using an alternate lxc path

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lxc source package in Raring:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  == Rationale ==
  "lxc-ls -P /some/path --fancy --nesting" fails to show nested containers and 
running container information.
  This is caused by the lack of lxcpath awareness in the get_ips() API call and 
by the NESTED environment variable containing the host's lxcpath and not the 
container's default lxcpath.

  == Test case ==
  1) Create a container with a sub-container in it
  2) Move the container to an alternate path, let's say /tmp/lxc
  3) Start it with: lxc-start -P /tmp/lxc -n container -d
  4) List the containers: lxc-ls --fancy --nesting -P /tmp/lxc

  Expected output is the main container with the sub-container under it,
  both of which with their status and IP addresses.

  == Regression potential ==
  This slightly changes the behaviour of lxc-ls in that in the past it'd 
successfully list sub-containers if they had the exact same custom lxcpath as 
the host, however this is very unusual and not something upstream feels should 
be supported at this time.
  Instead it's expected that the container containing sub-containers in the 
default lxcpath will be much more common.

  As the get_ips() call was preventing those containers to show up
  anyway, it's unlikely anyone will notice the small change in
  behaviour.
