  $PATH is getting clobbered when starting a container with Upstart

Bug description:
  == SRU ==
  Rationale: LXC 1.1 and higher mangles the process env to be able to re-title itself, breaking the environment for sub-processes in the process
  Test case: Spawn a container and check /proc/self/environ
  Regression potential: Worst case scenario is we stamp on a different part of the process memory leading to similar but different breakage. It's been tested not to be the case though, change comes from upstream.

  == Original bug report ==
  I have a script using the Python3 LXC API that starts up a container.  If I use an Upstart job to call the script, the $PATH env var is getting clobbered and the container fails to start.
