restore: added --ignore-static-ip option

If a container is restored multiple times from an exported checkpoint
with the help of '--import --name', the restore will fail if during
'podman run' a static container IP was set with '--ip'. The user can
tell the restore process to ignore the static IP with
'--ignore-static-ip'.
