Bug Description

============== SRU Justification =============
Impact: lxc-ls fails when container names start with a dash ('-')
Development fix: when calling 'ls' from lxc-ls, specify -- before the container name to make clear that the next argument is a file name
Stable fix: same as Development fix.
Test case:
 sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n -p2
 sudo lxc-start -n -p2 -d
 sudo lxc-ls
 the lxc-ls will show ls error messages without the patch
Regression potential: none

==============================================

A script created a container which name starts with a '-' ( -lo-quantal-i386 in this case )

Then calls to lxc-ls and lxc-list fail with:

$ lxc-ls
-lo-quantal-i386
ls: invalid option -- '-'
Try `ls --help' for more information.
