Valentin Rothberg 1f66a827e8 remote load: check if input is directory
The remote client does not support loading directories yet.  To prevent
confusing error messages and to make the behaviour more explicit, check
if the input points to a directory and throw an error if needed.

## NAME
podman\-load - Load an image from a container image archive into container storage
## SYNOPSIS
**podman load** [*options*] [*name*[:*tag*]]
**podman image load** [*options*] [*name*[:*tag*]]
## DESCRIPTION
**podman load** loads an image from either an **oci-archive** or a **docker-archive** stored on the local machine into container storage. **podman load** reads from stdin by default or a file if the **input** option is set.
You can also specify a name for the image if the archive does not contain a named reference, of if you want an additional name for the local image.
The local client further supports loading an **oci-dir** or a **docker-dir** as created with **podman save** (1).
The **quiet** option suppresses the progress output when set.
Note: `:` is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.
