Following instructions for localhost bootstrap results in an error

[Dan Watkins]

I've just installed a fresh artful (desktop) system, and installed juju from the stable PPA. I want to bootstrap locally so I run `juju bootstrap` and follow the instructions. Eventually I get told:

  Please configure LXD by running:
   $ newgrp lxd
   $ lxd init

I do so, and then re-bootstrap, which ends up with me being told:

  ERROR juju doesn't support ipv6. Please disable LXD's IPV6:

   $ lxc network set lxdbr0 ipv6.address none

  and rebootstrap

Following these instructions results in an error:

$ lxc network set lxdbr0 ipv6.address none
error: Only managed networks can be modified.

Some further digging in reveals that this is actually happening because I have a different lxd server configured as my default, so the lxd commands run against that remote rather than localhost.

I think the final command should be explicit about using the local "remote":

lxc network set local:lxdbr0 ipv6.address none

We're also looking at allowing you to have ipv6 for lxdbr0. But we're not
sure if that will land in 2.3 or not until 2.4.
