Subject: [PATCH 1/6][v3][lxc] Add --with-libcr configure option

Add a configure option, --with-libcr=dir which would allow linking
with external (i.e USERCR) implementation  of checkpoint/restart.

For now, USERCR "publishes" a app-checkpoint.h, checkpoint.o and
restart.o files which implement the functions app_checkpoint() and
app_restart().

Usage:
	$ ./autogen.sh

	$ ./configure --help |grep libcr
	--with-libcr=dir     use the Checkpoint/Restart implementation in 'dir'

	$ ls /home/guest/user-cr/
	app-checkpoint.h    checkpoint.o    restart.o

	$ ./configure --with-libcr=/home/guest/user-cr

TODO:
	If names of interfaces in USERCR change, we may want to rename
	the config option too ?

	LIBCR_CFLAGS are only needed for src/lxc/{checkpoint.c,restart.c}
	but not sure if there is an easy way to define autoconf CFLAGS
	just for those two files.

Changelog[v2]:
	- Rename --with-usercr to --with-libcr
	- Add libeclone.a to the LIBCR_OBJS variable since functions in
	  libeclone.a will be used by checkpoint() and restart() functions.
	- Add -I${with_libcr}/include to LIBCR_CFLAGS to pick up
	  checkpoint_hdr.h, checkpoint.h etc.
