rm: add containers eviction with `rm --force`
Add ability to evict a container when it becomes unusable. This may happen when the host setup changes after a container creation, making it impossible for that container to be used or removed. Evicting a container is done using the `rm --force` command. Signed-off-by: Marco Vedovati <mvedovati@suse.com>
