Clean up cached machine images
When initing machines, we download a machine image, and uncompress and copy the image for the actual vm image. When a user constantly pulls new machines, there may be a buildup of old, unused machine images. This commit cleans ups the unused cached images. Changes: - If the machine is pulled from a URL or from the FCOS releases, we pull them into XDG_DATA_HOME/containers/podman/machine/vmType/cache - Cache cleanups only happen if there is a cache miss, and we need to pull a new image - For Fedora and FCOS, we actually use the cache, so we go through the cache dir and remove any images older than 2 weeks (FCOS's release cycle), on a cache miss. - For generic files pulled from a URL, we don't actually cache, so we delete the pulled file immediately after creating a machine image - For generic files from a local path, the original file will never be cleaned up Note that because we cache in a different dir, this will not clean up old images pulled before this commit.
