  Bug #1539016 in init-system-helpers (Ubuntu): "Remove /bin/running-in-container"
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/init-system-helpers/+bug/1539016

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~pitti/cloud-init/systemd-detect-virt/+merge/284278

As explained in https://launchpad.net/bugs/1539016, running-in-container is an (over-complicated) wrapper around systemd-detect-virt -c, and an Ubuntu-ism which I'd like to get rid of.

This adds systemd-detect-virt to the list of container tests. I figure we need to keep running-in-container as a fallback test for a while, to run older releases with newer cloud-inits.
