Check the power state and whether it needs to be changed to match the "start" parameter after both cloning and creating an LXC container.
I had run into an issue where LXC's would not start after being cloned from another VM. I checked the code and it seemed to be prone to issues, so I've broken that logic out into a function
reconcilePowerStatewhich is now run when we finish creating or cloning an LXC.From my testing this works much more reliably than before. I'm not sure if there was a reason behind only checking and reconciling the power state if the "start" parameter had changed. If I am understanding correctly, the more "idempotent" thing to do would be to check regardless of the input and change the power state if it needs to be changed. Let me know if I am making any wrong assumptions here.
This is a somewhat quick and dirty proof of concept so definitely let me know if it should be tidied up in any way.
Thanks!
