[pve-devel] [PATCH container] add features:fuse

That should be enough for snapd on unprivileged containers.
For privileged containers we'd also need a way to not drop
the mac_admin capability - not sure we'd want that.

With this patch you can run snaps in unprivileged ubuntu containers via:
  pct set $vmid --features nesting=1,fuse=1

For privileged containers you also need to allow mac_admin for the
container to be able to create apparmor profiles. (They do stay stacked
with the lxc profile, but I'd still not recommend it...)
  lxc.cap.drop =
  lxc.cap.drop = mac_override sys_time sys_module sys_rawio

(The list above is from common.conf with just mac_admin removed)

To test:
  apt install squashfuse
  apt install snapd
  snapd install --beta mysql
