podman cp: do not overwrite non-dirs with dirs and vice versa
Add a new `--overwrite` flag to `podman cp` to allow for overwriting in
case existing users depend on the behavior; they will have a workaround.
By default, the flag is turned off to be compatible with Docker and to
have a more sane behavior.
Fixes: #14420
