Valentin Rothberg 0f7d54b026 migrate Podman to containers/common/libimage
Migrate the Podman code base over to `common/libimage` which replaces
`libpod/image` and a lot of glue code entirely.

Note that I tried to leave bread crumbs for changed tests.

Miscellaneous changes:

 * Some errors yield different messages which required to alter some
   tests.

 * I fixed some pre-existing issues in the code.  Others were marked as
   `//TODO`s to prevent the PR from exploding.

 * The `NamesHistory` of an image is returned as is from the storage.
   Previously, we did some filtering which I think is undesirable.
   Instead we should return the data as stored in the storage.

 * Touched handlers use the ABI interfaces where possible.

 * Local image resolution: previously Podman would match "foo" on
   "myfoo".  This behaviour has been changed and Podman will now
   only match on repository boundaries such that "foo" would match
   "my/foo" but not "myfoo".  I consider the old behaviour to be a
   bug, at the very least an exotic corner case.

 * Futhermore, "foo:none" does *not* resolve to a local image "foo"
   without tag anymore.  It's a hill I am (almost) willing to die on.

 * `image prune` prints the IDs of pruned images.  Previously, in some
   cases, the names were printed instead.  The API clearly states ID,
   so we should stick to it.

 * Compat endpoint image removal with _force_ deletes the entire not
   only the specified tag.

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:

JavaScript Stack Trace Image

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
