Changes SSH key behavior such that there is a single persisted key for all machines across all providers. If there is no key that is located at `.local/share/containers/podman/machine/` then it is created. The keys are not deleted when the last machine on the host is removed. The main motivation for this change is it leads to fewer files created on the host as a result of vm configuration. Having `n` machines on your system doesn't result in `2n` machine-related files in `.ssh` on your system anymore. As a result of ssh keys being persisted by default, the `--save-keys` flag on `podman machine rm` will no longer be supported. Signed-off-by: Jake Correnti <jakecorrenti+github@proton.me>

NAME
podman-machine-rm - Remove a virtual machine
SYNOPSIS
podman machine rm [options] [name]
DESCRIPTION
Remove a virtual machine and its related files. What is actually deleted depends on the virtual machine type. For all virtual machines, the generated podman system connections are deleted. The ignition files generated for that VM are also removed as is its image file on the filesystem.
Users get a display of what is deleted and are required to confirm unless the option --force
is used.
The default machine name is podman-machine-default. If a machine name is not specified as an argument,
then podman-machine-default will be removed.
Rootless only.
OPTIONS
--force, -f
Stop and delete without confirmation.
--help
Print usage statement.
--save-ignition
Do not delete the generated ignition file.
--save-image
Do not delete the VM image.
EXAMPLES
Remove a VM named "test1":
$ podman machine rm test1
The following files will be deleted:
/home/user/.config/containers/podman/machine/qemu/test1.ign
/home/user/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/test1_fedora-coreos-33.20210315.1.0-qemu.x86_64.qcow2
/home/user/.config/containers/podman/machine/qemu/test1.json
