Previously and without a ~amd64 flag on app-emulation/lxc, we would end up with v1.0.8 installed and that's bad because LXD would constantly segfault. LXD's README (https://github.com/lxc/lxd#building-from-source) specifies that LXC 2.0+ is required, so that's what we should require.

    app-emulation/lxd: RDEPEND on lxc >= 2.0.7
    
    Previously and without a ~amd64 flag on app-emulation/lxc, we would end up with v1.0.8 installed and
    that's bad because LXD would constantly segfault. LXD's README
    (https://github.com/lxc/lxd#building-from-source) specifies that LXC 2.0+ is required, so that's
    what we should require.
    
    lxc 2.0.7 has been stabilized since I opened the bug, but I still think it's a good idea to be
    more specific in our dependency declaration.
