fix: create links in entrypoint for files under /home/tooling/.config

[dkwon17]

Files under /home/tooling/.config are not stowed in the entrypoint because it is in the .stow-local-ignore file. Stow ignores everything in the .config folder because the /home/user/.config folder should be created in the entrypoint in order to have proper user permissions required for Podman 5.x.

This PR fixes https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CRW-8932

See #197

How I tested this PR:

1. Build the base image. My base image is: quay.io/dkwon17/base-developer-image:persist-config-files.

cd base/ubi9 && podman image build -t  {base image} .

2. Create the following files somewhere in your filesystem:

Dockerfile

FROM {base image}

COPY test.conf /home/tooling/.config/test/test-nested.conf
COPY test.conf /home/tooling/.config/test.conf
COPY test.conf /home/tooling/.config/test/another/test1.conf
COPY test.conf /home/tooling/.config/test/another/test2.conf
COPY test.conf /home/tooling/.config/composer/keys.dev.pub
COPY test.conf /home/tooling/.config/composer/keys.tags.pub

test.conf

test file

3. Build the image from step 2. I've named my image quay.io/dkwon17/test:persist-config-files

podman build -t {image}.

4. Run the image (podman run {image}) and exec into it. Verify that there are links from files under /home/tooling/.config to /home/user/.config:
