network tutorial: update with rootless cni changes

Starting with podman v3.2 rootless cni will work without the
rootless-cni-infra container. Update the network tutorial to reflect the
latest changes and mention that the infra container can be removed.

When rootless containers are run with a CNI networking configuration, a “side-car”
container for running CNI is also run. Do not remove this container while your rootless
containers are running. if you remove this container (e.g by accident) all attached
containers lose network connectivity. In order to restore the network connectivity
all containers with networks must be restarted. This will automatically recreate
the "side-car" container. For rootfull containers, there is no “side-car” container
When rootless containers are run with a CNI networking configuration, CNI operations
will be executed inside an extra network namespace. To join this namespace, use
`podman unshare --rootless-cni`. Podman version 3.1 and earlier use a special “side-car”
container called rootless-cni-infra. Do not remove this container while your rootless
containers are running. If you remove this container (e.g. by accident), all attached
containers lose network connectivity. In order to restore the network connectivity, all
containers with networks must be restarted. This will automatically recreate the "side-car"
container. When you are using version 3.2 or newer the “side-car” container can be
safely removed. Therefore, it is no longer used.
For rootfull containers, there is no extra namespace or “side-car” container
as rootfull users have the permissions to create and modify network interfaces on
the host.
