Remove --sync flag from `podman rm`

Per discussion with Dan, it would be better to automatically
handle potential runtime errors by automatically syncing if they
occur. Retaining the flag for `ps` makes sense, as we won't even
be calling the OCI runtime and as such won't see errors if the
state desyncs, but rm can be handled automatically.

The automatic desync handling code will take some additional work
so we'll land this as-is (sync on ps is enough to solve most
desync issues).
