feat: abra app move (continued) #636

I tried to make it possible to app move an app on the same server for the purposes of testing 😂 This complicated everything so much that it became impossible to read the code anymore. I have abandoned this for now.
Due to the chaotic nature of what people put on containers, a lot of containers won't be moveable. For example, all the "distroless" containers won't be supported because you can't sudo cat .... I've added this to the --help output update: it's portable: #636 (comment)
Use rsync instead of scp

I've manually tested this a bit, it's looking legit. We're gonna have to see how it goes in wild.

Note in the second point: this is how i Bad it in the beginning but i also ran into bis limitation. It now copies the secret using ssh and cat there so it only needs cat to be installed in the server not in the container
