Initialize threading & error layer in LXC controller

In Fedora 20, libvirt_lxc crashes immediately at startup with a
trace

Normally virInitialize calls virErrorInitialize and
virThreadInitialize, but we don't link to libvirt.so
in libvirt_lxc, and nor did we ever call the error
or thread initializers.

I have absolutely no idea how this has ever worked, let alone
what caused it to stop working in Fedora 20.

In addition not all code paths from virLogSetFromEnv will
ensure virLogInitialize is called correctly, which is another
possible crash scenario.
