LXD simulation for Proxmox setup

[UCCNetworkingSociety]

Moving everything to Proxmox will break our previous LXD simulation.

Someone will need to look at emulating recreating netsoc-ubuntu-server, see template-netsoc-ubuntu-server.yml and packer/netsoc-ubuntu-server as an LXD image

They will then need to modify simulation.sh to create instances of that image. They will need to either input hosts into the ./hosts or create a dynamic inventory script similar to ./proxmox_inventory.py that can discover the LXD instances.

The network addresses should (I think) be the same (this will need to be investigated). If this is done correctly, we can then run any of our provision-*.yml files on any of the containers and it should create a full local demo of all of Netsoc's infrastructure without the need of running VMs.

Id love to look into using https://github.com/weaveworks/footloose to have a set of test servers for local testing declaratively defined

any idea how well these perform with strictly kernel stuff? can imagine nfs might be an issue
