configure container architecture
When a container is installed with 32bits binaries while we are running on a 64bits host, inside the container we are seen as 64bits arch. That leads to some problems for the package updates because the scripts will download 64bits packages instead of 32bits. This patch defines a configuration variable to set the architecture of the container. lxc.arch = i686 | x86 | x86_64 | amd64 Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
