Podman Image SCP rootful to rootless transfer

Added functionality for users to transfer images from root storage to rootless storage without using sshd. This is
done through rootful podman by running `sudo podman image scp root@localhost::image user@localhost:: the user is needed
in order to find and use their uid/gid to exec a new process.

added necessary tests, and functions for this implementation. Created new image function Transfer so that
the underlying code is majorly removed from CLI
