lxc: Set max uid/gid mappings for user namespace

There is a limit on the number of lines in the /proc/<pid>/{g,u}id_map
files. In Linux 4.14 and earlier, this limit was (arbitrarily) set at
5 lines. Since Linux 4.15, which was released on 28 Jan 2018, the limit
is 340 lines.

This change is documented in user_namespaces(7).
