Raj b2994ac369 Add container machine for managing persistent Linux VMs (#1662)
## Type of Change
- [ ] Bug fix
- [x] New feature  
- [ ] Breaking change
- [ ] Documentation update

## Motivation and Context
`container` runs each workload in an ephemeral VM, so there's no
built-in way to keep a persistent Linux environment you can log into and
work in. `container machine` adds one.

A container machine is a lightweight, persistent, and integrated Linux
environments that feel like an extension of your Mac, created from
standard OCI images with a familiar UX. The login user matches your host
account with passwordless `sudo`, your home directory is mounted inside
the VM, and each machine keeps its filesystem and runs the image's own
init system (such as`systemd` or `openrc`).

```bash
container machine create alpine:3.22 --name my-machine
container machine run -n my-machine # interactive shell
container machine set -n my-machine cpus=4 memory=8G
```

Subcommands: `create`, `run`, `list` (`ls`), `inspect`, `set`,
`set-default`, `logs`, `stop`, `delete` (`rm`); `m` aliases `machine`.
Docs added to `docs/command-reference.md` (Machine Management) and
`docs/how-to.md` ("Use container machines").

## Testing
- [x] Tested locally
- [x] Added/updated tests
- [x] Added/updated docs

J Logan 5b83b4a9ac Rename config file to config.toml. (#1568)
- Closes #1565.
- `runtime-config.toml` suggested the config
  pertains to just the runtime (managing container
  workloads) aspect of the system.
- Also renames `ADDR` columns to `IP` in 
  `container ls` and `container builder status`.

Noah Thornton 0328f5c4c5 Centralize utilities for configuration loading and path parsing (#1448)
This creates a more centralized utility to find and load configuration files, as a follow up to (pr: https://github.com/apple/container/pull/1425).

Noah Thornton e3c49803a0 Move to TOML configuration for defaults (#1425)
- Discussion topic #1336.
- This change migrates away from using `UserDefaults`,
  instead providing a TOML configuration mechanism for
  user configurable settings. All existing system property
  settings keys are supported in the new configuration
  file. However, users will have to migrate any settings
  they have configured in the `UserDefaults` into TOML
  for these settings to take effect.
- Breaking changes:
  * `container system property get` is removed in favor of
    users directly utilizing `container system property list --format toml | jq<>`.
  * `container system property set` is removed since the TOML
    configuration is effectively immutable during the lifetime of the
    `container` daemon. Uses can edit the TOML they have in their home
    directory, however no changes will take effect until the daemon is
    restarted via `container system stop && container system start`
* `container system property list --format table` is removed as
    generating tabular format is non-trivial and the new TOML format is
    intended to be human readable
