Apple Container removes containers when they stop, making the
stop-then-export flow impossible regardless of the --rm flag.
Replace `container export` (requires stopped container) with
`container exec --user root <name> tar --create ... --file=- --directory=/ .`
streamed to a temp file, then build the committed image from that archive
as before. The bottle stays running after commit, which is better UX.
Drop the stop-confirm prompt from MacosContainerFreezer since we no longer
need to stop the container at all.
`container export` requires the container to be stopped first. When a
running bottle is detected, prompt the user to confirm, stop the
container, then commit. Adds `container_is_running` and
`stop_container` helpers to the macos-container util.
Addresses #240 (comment)
`container system info` is not a valid subcommand and always returned
non-zero, causing a false-positive on the service check. Switch to
`container system status` which is the correct command.

Fail early with a clear message when the Apple Container system service
isn't running, instead of surfacing an opaque XPC connection error mid-build.
