The files under /home/tooling/.config are not moved to /home/user/.config when the persistent home feature is enabled in Dev Spaces.

This is because /home/tooling/.config is in the stow_ignore file: [1]

The technical reason why the .config folder is in the stow_ignore file was since stow is run in the dockerfile [2], the /home/user/.config was being created with permissions that caused podman 5.x to not run as expected, see [3]

That is why [2] updates the UDI such that the /home/user/.config folder is created in the entrypoint, which results in owner permissions that don't cause problems with podman 5.x.

We need to support a way to easily transfer over /home/tooling/.config files to /home/user/.config in the UDI entrypoint.
