This extends the list of arguments of start() allowing the user to request the container be started in the foreground and have control on whether fds will be closed or not (daemonize=True implies that too).
One problem at the moment however is that while we have functions to set close_fds and daemonize in the API, we don't have functions to unset those flags, so those new parameters will only work on the initial call to start() any further call will use the values of the previous one. I think it'd make sense to change lxcapi slightly to have daemonize and close_fds offer a similar interface, both returning booleans and both accepting a value as a parameter so API users can set the value they want.
