lxd: setup LXD remote for multipass
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed unmerged; its Multipass/LXD remote setup was replaced by #1916 (commit dd4404843), which reworked remote initialization to occur lazily.
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: PR #1866 was closed without being merged. PR #1916 was subsequently merged as dd4404843, superseding this approach by deferring LXD remote initialization until needed.

This implements automatic setup of LXD and a network bridge which is then added as a new remote and behaves like any other container.
