auto-update: add --dry-run
Add a --dry-run flag to `podman auto-update` which will look for new images but won't perform any pull or restart any service or container. The "UPDATED" column will now indicate the availability of a newer image via "pending". ``` $ podman auto-update --dry-run UNIT CONTAINER IMAGE POLICY UPDATED container-test.service 08fd34e533fd (test) localhost:5000/busybox registry false ``` Fixes: #9949 Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg <rothberg@redhat.com>
