use bootc for os apply

Browse Source 
Instead of using rpm-ostree, we now use bootc for os apply.  the
implementation is a little murky right now and will require some cleanup
to implement bootc's transports.  for now, we only support oci images
from registries.

once we have an upgrade command, the transports can be added and the
docs for apply can be ammended to be more clear.

Fixes: RUN-3836

Apply machine OS changes from an OCI image.
VM's that use OS's that use rpm-ostreee have the capability to rebase itself from the content of an OCI image.
The Podman virtual machine has the capability to rebase itself from the content of an OCI image.
`podman machine image apply` takes an OCI image with container native ostree functionality and rebases itself on that image.
By default, Podman machines on Mac, Linux, and Windows Hyper-V use a customized rpm-ostree based distribution (Fedora CoreOS). Machines based on Microsoft WSL use a
customized Fedora distribution and cannot be updated with this command.
customized distribution and cannot be updated with this command.
Note: WSL-based machines are upgradable by using the `podman machine ssh <machine_name>` command followed by `sudo dnf update`. This can, however, result in unexpected results in
Podman client and server version differences.
The applying of the OCI image is done by a command called `bootc`.
Podman machine images are stored as OCI images at `quay.io/podman/machine-os`. When applying an image using this
command, the fully qualified OCI reference name must be used including tag where the tag is the
version of Podman that is inside the VM. By default, Podman will attempt to pull only the statement
version as itself.
For more information, see the [rpm-ostree documentation](https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/container/).
The default machine name is `podman-machine-default`. If a machine name is not specified as an argument,
then the OS changes will be applied to `podman-machine-default`.

type OSTree struct{}
// Apply takes an OCI image and does an rpm-ostree rebase on the image
// If no containers-transport is specified,
// apply will first check if the image exists locally, then default to pulling.
// Exec-ing out to rpm-ostree rebase requires sudo, so this means apply cannot
// be called within podman's user namespace if run as rootless.
// This means that we need to export images in containers-storage to oci-dirs
// We also need to do this via an exec, because if we tried to use the ABI functions,
// we would enter the user namespace, the rebase command would fail.
// The pull portion of this function essentially is a work-around for two things:
// 1. rpm-ostree requires you to specify the containers-transport when pulling.
// The pull in podman allows the behavior of os apply to match other podman commands,
// where you only pull if the image does not exist in storage already.
// 2. This works around the root/rootless issue.
// Podman machines are by default set up using a rootless connection.
// rpm-ostree needs to be run as root. If a user wants to use an image in containers-storage,
// rpm-ostree will look at the root storage, and not the user storage, which is unexpected behavior.
// Exporting to an oci-dir works around this, without nagging the user to configure the machine in rootful mode.
// Apply takes an input that describes an image based on transports
// defined by bootc. Omission of a transport assumes the image
// is pulled from an OCI registry. We simply pass the user
// input to bootc without any manipulation.
