[RFE] make custom auth.json location possible.

[kristvanbesien]

What happened?

I am using a custom location for my authentication file, by setting a REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE env variable.

podman login picks this up, but oc-mirror does not. This leads to confusing situations where podman login succeeds, but you then get a authentication when running oc-mirror.

So consider making oc-mirror aware of the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE variable.

I second this. The same --authfile parameter used by podman and skopeo would be nice...

[kristvanbesien]

I third this. I lost several hours because of this today... This is not very intuitive...

I'm also missing the feature to configure the auth.json for oc-mirror. It would make automation around oc-mirror much more simple and clear. Thanks for considering this feature!
