Add option to autostart managed containers (#43)

This is useful for Podman, where containers are not autostarted on
boot like they are under the Docker daemon. The usual way to solve this
problem under Podman is to use systemd, but it's annoying to create a
systemd unit for every ExApps-managed container by hand.
