E2E export/import containers #6541

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe

We should add tests for the export/import containers feature.

export -> https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/pull/6468 import -> https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/pull/6492

The gifs inside those two PR shows how it should work.

The thing which is not obvious is that the generated image when you export a container only contain its filesystem. So let's say you want to create a new container from it you need to add all the metadata to make it starts, like the ports to open, the command/entrypoint and so on. Maybe we would implement something to help user with it but atm it works this way.
