Admin scripts for running overlay subhosts

Overlay subhosting that uses unshare and chroot for running services within independent overlay filesystems, with a common kernel but independent namespaces. Aka "containerization with a modicum of bells and whistles".

This is a lightweight container alternative that supports the full range of use cases. It includes for example, "safe" trialling of software over an existing filesystem without "polluting" that filesystem (and without copying it). And, an overlay-boot setup might be made as a full foreign architecture sub-hosting. The framework is entirely in shell script form which is both fully transparent and easily modifiable.
