[lxc-users] lxd-client on 20.04 focal

[Stéphane Graber]

If shoving a static binary in your Docker container is an option, it's
pretty simple to build the LXD client alone as a static binary.

Install "golang-go" and "git", then run "go get
github.com/lxc/lxd/lxc". This will take a little while as it downloads
the needed source trees.
Once done, you'll find a "lxc" binary in ~/go/bin/ which you can start
using as standalone client.
