This commit implements automatic creation timestamp functionality for artifacts
as requested in GitHub issue #27081, allowing users to see when artifacts were created.
Changes made:
- Add org.opencontainers.image.created annotation with Unix nanoseconds timestamp during artifact creation
- Preserve original creation timestamp when using --append option
- Update artifact inspect and add man pages to document the new functionality
- Add comprehensive e2e and system BATS tests to verify creation timestamp behavior
- Store timestamp as integer (Unix nanoseconds) for programmatic access
The creation timestamp helps users understand artifact freshness, particularly
useful for AI models and other time-sensitive artifacts managed by tools like RamaLama.
Usage examples:
podman artifact add myartifact:latest /path/to/file # Creates with timestamp
podman artifact inspect myartifact:latest # Shows created annotation as integer
podman artifact add --append myartifact:latest /file2 # Preserves original timestamp

in #25884, it was pointed out that the standard detection used to
determine the artifact's file type can be wrong. in those cases, it
would be handy for the user to be able to override the media type of the
layer. as such, added a new option called `--file-type`, which is
optional, and allows users to do just that.
`podman artifact add --file-type text/yaml
quay.io/artifact/config:latest ./config.yaml `

podman artifact add now supports two new command line switches.
--type string that describes the type of artifact
--annotation string slice in the form of key=val
These new options allow users to "tag" information in on their artifacts
for any number of purposes down the line
