Duplicate MAC address on LXC clone, but not VM

When a Virtual machine is cloned, Proxmox deals with the MAC address by assigning a new one so there is no conflict. However, when cloning a LXC (by backup and restore to a new container), this does not happen.

It would be nice to have feature that provider either:
1. An option to automatically assign a new MAC when restoring to a new container, or
2. A menu option to clone a LXC, like we have for KVM, that automatically generates a new MAC address.
