this pr represents a shift in how we download podman machine images.
these images will now be stored in oci registry and will replace the
default method of downloading an image. you can still use a reference
to a disk image as a path or url too with the --image-path switch.
the final registry and location of the images has not been determined;
and will need to be updated in podman as well.
i dont think we need to allow --image-path to accept a registry/image
for the podman 5.0 release. i do think there will be demand for this.
upgrades also need to be plumbed. for example, updating from an oci
registry.
once we make decisions on final image locations/registrties as well as
some behaviors of init and the oci pull, we must update the machine-init
documentation.

The following PR is the leading PR for refactoring podman machine with
the following goals:
* less duplication/more re-use
* common configuration file between providers
* more consistentency in how machines are handled by providers
The goal of this PR is the rough refactor. There are still rough spots
for sure, specifically around the podman socket and pipe. This
implemention is only for Linux. All other providers are still present
but will not compile or work. This is why tests for them have been
temporarily suspended.
The ready socket code is another area that needs to be smoothed over.
Right now, the ready socket code is still in QEMU. Preferably it would
be moved to a generic spot where all three approaches to readiness
socket use can be defined.
It should also be noted:
* all machine related tests pass.
* make validate for Linux passes
* Apple QEMU was largely removed
* More code pruning is possible; will become clearer when other
providers are complete.
the dir pkg/machine/p5 is not permanent. i had to seperate this from
machine initially due to circular import problems. i think when all
providers are done (or nearly done), it can be placed and named
properly.

this is a logical place to get changes upstream before they grow out of
control. this pr is the first in an effort to deduplicate machine code
and streamline code flow.
a lot of code is simply moved to eliminate circular imports. names and
specific paths can ultimately be changed. i dont like some of the
descriptive interface names, etc. ultimately, i think once we have the
"old" code sanitized, we can re-use some of those.
clearly some of what is in here is temporary and will either be deleted,
changed, or moved again as this effort comes to a close.
right now, the machine code does not use any of the "new" code. you
will see in `init` and `rm` some commented out code that hooks it. i'm
afraid things will get worse before they get better (way worse).

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.

The following PR is the very first step in what will a series of steps
to apply a "common" machine configuration file to all providers.
Function names, method names, struct names, and field names are all up
for debate. The purpose of this PR is to offer a glimpse at the
direction we intend to take.
This PR also contains temporary structs (i.e. aThing) that are not
exported. These are merely placeholders.
The configuration work in this PR is also unused of yet. But the code
is compiled. Once merged, we can begin the next step of development.
