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.
