I don't like adding bits to the create wizard unless it's absolutely
necessary, it's just more code to maintain. Especially in the path for LXC
guests which is not used anywhere near as much as traditional xen/qemu guests.

The reality is also that over time it's unlikely that virt-manager will be a
popular tool for creating libvirt-lxc containers, when there's virt-sandbox
and eventually docker. So I'd prefer to keep the explicit LXC UI in the create
wizard to a minimum.
