implement new ssh interface into podman this completely redesigns the entire functionality of podman image scp, podman system connection add, and podman --remote. All references to golang.org/x/crypto/ssh have been moved to common as have native ssh/scp execs and the new usage of the sftp package. this PR adds a global flag, --ssh to podman which has two valid inputs `golang` and `native` where golang is the default. Users should not notice any difference in their everyday workflows if they continue using the golang option. UNLESS they have been using an improperly verified ssh key, this will now fail. This is because podman was incorrectly using the ssh callback method to IGNORE the ssh known hosts file which is very insecure and golang tells you not yo use this in production. The native paths allows for immense flexibility, with a new containers.conf field `SSH_CONFIG` that specifies a specific ssh config file to be used in all operations. Else the users ~/.ssh/config file will be used. podman --remote currently only uses the golang path, given its deep interconnection with dialing multiple clients and urls. My goal after this PR is to go back and abstract the idea of podman --remote from golang's dialed clients, as it should not be so intrinsically connected. Overall, this is a v1 of a long process of offering native ssh, and one that covers some good ground with podman system connection add and podman image scp.

API Reference
The latest online documentation is
automatically generated by two cooperating automation systems based on committed upstream
source code. Firstly, the Cirrus-CI docs task builds
pkg/api/swagger.yaml and uploads it to a public-facing location (Google Storage Bucket -
an online service for storing unstructured data). Second, Read The Docs
reacts to the github.com repository change, building the content for the libpod documentation
site. This site includes for the API section,
some javascript which consumes the uploaded swagger.yaml file directly from the Google
Storage Bucket.
Since there are multiple systems and local cache is involved, it's possible that updates to documentation (especially the swagger/API docs) will lag by 10-or-so minutes. However, because the client (i.e. your web browser) is fetching content from multiple locations that do not share a common domain, accessing the API section may show a stack-trace similar to the following:
If reloading the page, or clearing your local cache does not fix the problem, it is
likely caused by broken metadata needed to protect clients from cross-site-scripting
style attacks. Please notify a maintainer
so they may investigate how/why the swagger.yaml file's CORS-metadata is
incorrect, or the file isn't accessible for some other reason.
Local Testing
Assuming that you have the dependencies installed, then also install (showing Fedora in the example):
# dnf install python3-sphinx python3-recommonmark
# pip install sphinx-markdown-tables
After that completes, cd to the docs directory in your Podman sandbox and then do make html.
You can then preview the html files in docs/build/html with:
python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html
