The LXC API currently doesn't work terribly well when the user isn't root for a variety of reasons.
The python binding therfore immediately returns an exception if a non-root user tries to access a container object (as the C calls would fail anyway). These commits update the various python scripts to check whether the user is root before invoking the python module so that we can return a nicer error message to the user, suggesting the use of sudo to run the script as root.
