nspawn: add new --volatile switch for booting containers in volatile (ephemeral) mode
Two modes are supported: --volatile=yes mounts only /usr into the container, and a tmpfs as root directory. --volatile=state mounts the full OS tree in, but overmounts /var with a tmpfs. --volatile=yes hence boots with an unpopulated /etc and /var, starting with pristine configuration and state. --volatile=state hence boots with an unpopulated /var, only starting with pristine state.
