Eelco Dolstra 895bcdd1cb Add support for running a container with a private network interface
For example, the following sets up a container named ‘foo’.  The
container will have a single network interface eth0, with IP address
10.231.136.2.  The host will have an interface c-foo with IP address
10.231.136.1.

  systemd.containers.foo =
    { privateNetwork = true;
      hostAddress = "10.231.136.1";
      localAddress = "10.231.136.2";
      config =
        { services.openssh.enable = true; };
    };

With ‘privateNetwork = true’, the container has the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability, allowing it to do arbitrary network configuration, such as
setting up firewall rules.  This is secure because it cannot touch the
interfaces of the host.

The helper program ‘run-in-netns’ is needed at the moment because ‘ip
netns exec’ doesn't quite do the right thing (it remounts /sys without
bind-mounting the original /sys/fs/cgroups).
