Add a new `podman machine cp` subcommand to allow users to copy files or directories between a running Podman Machine and their host. Tests cover the following cases: - Copy a file from the host machine to the VM - Copy a directory from the host machine to the VM - Copy a file from the VM to the host machine - Copy a directory from the VM to the host machine - Copy a file to a directory - Copy a directory to a file Signed-off-by: Jake Correnti <jakecorrenti+github@proton.me>

NAME
podman-machine - Manage Podman's virtual machine
SYNOPSIS
podman machine subcommand
DESCRIPTION
podman machine is a set of subcommands that manage Podman's virtual machine.
Podman on MacOS and Windows requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux - containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality are tied to the Linux kernel. Podman machine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, but can be optionally used on Linux.
All podman machine commands are rootless only.
NOTE: The podman-machine configuration file is managed under the
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/podman/machine/ directory. Changing the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
environment variable while the machines are running can lead to unexpected behavior.
Podman machine behaviour can be modified via the [machine] section in the containers.conf(5) file.
