[pve-devel] [PATCH container v5 08/17] configure static IP in LXC config for custom entrypoint

[Filip Schauer <f.schauer@proxmox.com>]

When a container uses the default `/sbin/init` entrypoint, network
interface configuration is usually managed by processes within the
container. However, containers with a different entrypoint might not
have any internal network management process. Consequently, IP addresses
might not be assigned.

This change ensures that a static IP address is explicitly set in the
LXC config for the container.

Changed since v2:
* rebase onto newest master (5a8b3f962f16) and re-format with
  proxmox-perltidy
* add an "ipmanagehost" property to pct.conf to control whether network
  interface IP configuration should be handled by the host.
