provider/docker: Docker upload

[ColinHebert]

This should allow the user to upload custom files/folders to the docker container before starting it.

In terms of command line, this is the equivalent of:

docker create --name blah image
docker cp local_path blah:remote_path
docker start blah

[ColinHebert]

Not sure whether transitive dependencies are the way to go here. Any suggestions?

@jen20 @radeksimko, any opinion/ advices regarding the comments above?

Hi @ColinHebert
Would you mind describing some use cases for this?

It feels like a functionality that belongs into either Packer or some kind of provisioner rather than a resource - but I may misunderstood your intentions here.

[radeksimko]

I just found #6827 (docker provisioner) - would that be sufficient for your use case (when finished)?

@ColinHebert I am going to close this PR out. It's been a while since any communication on it - I am going to assume (for now) that it's not needed. If you feel it still is, please just have a read back through and let us know :)

Thanks for all the work here!
