Use libeatmydata during LXC cache prep

The LXC cache prep is timing out regularly so use eatmydata to minimise
pressure on the filesystem during package installation.

dpkg calls fsync for each file installed from each package which can
result in very poor performance on some filesystems. This patch gives
around a 4x improvement in "slow" gate runs, and 2x on esxi hdd storage.
