Device override should fallback to device set

This works:
$ lxc init v1 --empty --vm
$ lxc config device override v1 root size=50GiB
But when a specific storage pool is specified during init
, the device override
no longer works, device set
needs to be used instead:
$ lxc init v1 --empty --vm -s butter # alternate storage pool
$ lxc config device override v1 root size=50GiB
Error: The device already exists
While that makes sense from an instance config point of view:
$ lxc config show v1
architecture: x86_64
config:
volatile.apply_template: create
volatile.cloud-init.instance-id: e51b383f-1f65-401a-9c2d-669cc77ecb8d
volatile.eth0.hwaddr: 00:16:3e:f9:0c:a6
volatile.uuid: 01dbcee9-1a26-4b01-8cea-c4d0c590a4c0
volatile.uuid.generation: 01dbcee9-1a26-4b01-8cea-c4d0c590a4c0
devices:

The workaround is to use device set
(lxc config device set v1 root size=50GiB
) but the user experience could be improved by allowing device override
fallback to being a device set
.
