[BUG] State under subpath from base image is not persisted when using image source

[adamperlin]

Expected Behavior

When a user makes use of an image source, they should be able to run commands in the context of that base image, including being able to rely on the presence of files under arbitrary subpaths

Actual Behavior

If a user specifies a non-root subpath to extract from the base image then we mount a scratch fs over said path without accounting for what might have been at that path, meaning that commands meant to execute in the context of the base image may fail and files from the base image under a particular subpath that were meant to be persisted when the subpath contents are extracted will not be copied as part of the source.

Steps To Reproduce

Consider the following spec:

# syntax=ghcr.io/azure/dalec/frontend:latest
name: test-dalec-package
packager: Microsoft
version: 0.1
revision: 1
description: "A test package"
license: "Apache 2.0"

sources:
  img:
    path: "/etc"
    image:
      ref: "busybox:latest"
      cmd:
        steps:
          - command: "ls -lrt /etc"

build:
  steps:
    - command: |
       [ ! -z $(ls -A img/) ]

The contents of /etc from busybox should be available under the img source directory, and the test command within the build steps should succeed. Instead, the build fails because there are no files in the img source directory. This is due to faulty current behavior in our source-from-image implementation in which we unconditionally mount a scratch fs over any non-root subpath a user has provided in the base image.
