podman-generate-systemd --new

Add a --new flag to podman-generate-systemd to create a new container
via podman-run instead of starting an existing container.

Creating a new container presents the challenge to find a reverse
mapping from a container to the CLI flags it can be created with.  We
are doing this via `(Container).Config.CreateCommand` field, which
includes a copy of the process' command from procFS at creating time.
This field may not be useful when the container was not created via the
Podman CLI (e.g., via a Python script).  Hence, we do not guarantee the
correctness of the generated files.

**--new**
Create a new container via podman-run instead of starting an existing one. This option relies on container configuration files, which may not map directly to podman CLI flags; please review the generated output carefully before placing in production.
**--timeout**, **-t**=*value*
Override the default stop timeout for the container with the given value.
**--restart-policy**=*policy*
Set the systemd restart policy. The restart-policy must be one of: "no", "on-success", "on-failure", "on-abnormal",
"on-watchdog", "on-abort", or "always". The default policy is *on-failure*.
