[Users] SSD trim support over a LUKS layer

Why suggest LXC when we have OpenVZ 7? LXC is far behind, it has less
features, it's more insecure, has a network standard that is a nightmare,
etc.

I stopped using proxmox from the exact moment it removed OpenVZ support and
replaced it with LXC.

Now a happy customer with Virtuozzo 7 (the same as OpenVZ 7) using multiple
NVMe drives with zero issues for almost 2 years.
