Migrate can move containers to a new runtime

This is a horrible hack to work around issues with Fedora 31, but
other distros might need it to, so we'll move it upstream.

I do not recommend this functionality for general use, and the
manpages and other documentation will reflect this. But for some
upgrade cases, it will be the only thing that allows for a
working system.
