Bug#844749: Use overlayfs instead

[Lorenzo Faletra <palinuro@parrotsec.org>]

i can confirm that overlayfs works flawlessly on both unstable and testing, but lb-config doesn't offer an option to choose the proper union module

if live-build doesn't properly set the LB_UNION_FILESYSTEM, i have seen that appending the following line to auto/config is a good workaround

sed -i "s/LB_UNION_FILESYSTEM=\"aufs\"/LB_UNION_FILESYSTEM=\"overlay\"/g" config/chroot
