Public bug reported:
LXD is the direction that the LXC project is moving towards, and it has
several nice features that are helpful for autopkgtest: fast container
creation with intelligent caching, support for local images (with
autopkgtest modifications), and seamless support for remote containers.
We need the latter for moving armhf testing into Scalingstack, as we
don't have native armhf support there. We can create a big semi-
permanent arm64 instance and then create armhf lxd containers in that,
and talk to them from the autopkgtest controller node in ProdStack using
the arm64 instance as a remote. This cannot be done with either the ssh
runner (that would need some rather complicated setup script) nor the
lxc runner (I tried wrapping ssh around it, but the extra level of shell
processing/quoting breaks stuff).
