Add --sync flag to podman ps

The previous commit added support for --sync to podman rm to
ensure state inconsistencies would not prevent containers from
being removed.

Add the flag to podman ps as well, so that all containers can be
forcibly synced and all state inconsistencies resolved.

+Force a sync of container state with the OCI runtime before attempting to remove the container.
 In some cases, a container's state in the runtime can become out of sync with Podman's state,
 which can cause Podman to refuse to remove containers because it believes they are still running.
 A sync will resolve this issue.
