Looking at some e-mail from Serge I now saw that -- <options> should be
working though it's not really intuitive as I can't find any reference
to it doing "lxc-create --help".

So I'd suggest to either have the script prompt the user or make sure
the help is up to date and the template options are easy enough to find
for our users (including their default values).
