This commit share host Real Time Clock device (rtc) into LXC containers
to support hardware clock. This should be available setting up a `rtc`
timer under clock section. Since this option is not emulated, it should
be available only for `localtime` clock. This option should be readonly
due to security reasons.
Before:
