[libvirt] [PATCH v3 02/12] LXC: enable user namespace only when user set the uidmap

User namespace will be enabled only when the idmap exist in configuration. If you want disable user namespace,just remove these elements from XML. If kernel doesn't support user namespace and idmap exist in configuration file, libvirt lxc will start failed and return "Kernel doesn't support user namespace" message.
