Provide developers with a "nuke it from orbit" option for cleaning up LXC

[Michael Hall]

Test deploying to local LXC containers with Juju is a great way to rapidly iterate your charm development, but I find myself with broken LXC setup a *lot*, either through my own fault or because of an unexpected shutdown of my laptop. Either way I'm left with running container that Juju no longer recognizes, and juju services that the CLI tools can't connect to.

Since this is for local testing of my charm, it would be easier to just get rid of everything and start over from scratch. There's an AskUbuntu answer detailing how to do this[1] but it would be even better if there was a local tool (juju-scrub-local or something like that) which would forcibly clean up everything and put the local host back to a clean state ready to juju bootstrap again.

Try using this as a workaround?
