After the container is stopped it's a bit odd how we don't allow the object to be restarted. If someone wanted to continuously rerun the same container they'd need to make a new object every time even though all guest state is blown away on stop() so it's a clean slate. This change makes it so that you can create+start again after stop (although create stands out like a sore thumb now as stop -> create is just strange).
