do not use a predictable filenames in the LXC plugin

* do not use a predictable filename for the LXC attach script

* don't use predictable filenames for LXC attach script logging

* don't set a predictable archive_path



this should prevent symlink attacks which could result in

* data corruption

* data leakage

* privilege escalation
