Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

CRIU (live migration and stateful stop) doesn't work well with the majority of system containers due to incompatibilities with systemd. As such for most of LXD's workloads CRIU does not work at this time.

Describe the solution you'd like

We are planning to remove CRIU support until such time as this situation improves.

Describe alternatives you've considered
