[RFC PATCH 0/4] Initial functional vcontainer --config feature for CI auth

[Tim Orling <ticotimo@gmail.com>]

This is an initial attempt to share a new feature for vcontainer which
mounts credentials (e.g. ~/.docker/config.json or podman's auth.json)
into QEMU as a 9p mount. This avoids some ugly hoops we would have to
jump through to pass the credentials with --password-stdin.

This series was heavily reliant on Claude Cowork, and hence is a bit
verbose in places. I chose to share it as is (and as tested) for this
initial RFC.

The tests (test_vcontainer_auth_config.py) all pass in a local Yocto
AutoBuilder test run.

The feature itself was also tested on a local Yocto AutoBuilder
'containers-library' run which successfully pushed a 'python' container
to registry.yocto.io[1] and quay.io/yocto[2] with the "Robot Account" or
equivalent credentials.

Once we agree upon a functional state of this patch series, the changes
for yocto-autobuilder2 and yocto-autobuilder-helper can be shared in a
meaningful way, since they are dependent upon this feature.
