## Type of Change - [x] New feature ## Description Add option to force kernel setting and tests for CLI `kernel set`. Related to #575. ## Motivation and Context This PR adds additional tests to ensure that we can set kernels from local files, remote tar files, and local tar files. A new option `force` is added to the `kernel set` subcommand which will overwrite an existing kernel with the same name if one exists to make testing easier. The tests ensure that a container can be started with the newly set kernel and resets to the default recommended kernel when complete. ## Testing - [x] Tested locally - [x] Added/updated tests Signed-off-by: Kathryn Baldauf <[email protected]>

Type of Change
Description
This PR checks if the found entry in the archive for the requested kernel path is a symlink, and if so, follows the symlink. I've opened a separate issue to track creating tests for kernel downloading here #574 and will create a follow-up PR for those.
Motivation and Context
This PR fixes an issue reported in #475 where installing a kernel from a tar archive does not follow symlinks in the archive.
