Add support to auto-update containers running in systemd units as
generated with `podman generate systemd --new`.
`podman auto-update` looks up containers with a specified
"io.containers.autoupdate" label (i.e., the auto-update policy).
If the label is present and set to "image", Podman reaches out to the
corresponding registry to check if the image has been updated. We
consider an image to be updated if the digest in the local storage is
different than the one of the remote image. If an image must be
updated, Podman pulls it down and restarts the container. Note that the
restarting sequence relies on systemd.
At container-creation time, Podman looks up the "PODMAN_SYSTEMD_UNIT"
environment variables and stores it verbatim in the container's label.
This variable is now set by all systemd units generated by
`podman-generate-systemd` and is set to `%n` (i.e., the name of systemd
unit starting the container). This data is then being used in the
auto-update sequence to instruct systemd (via DBUS) to restart the unit
and hence to restart the container.
Note that this implementation of auto-updates relies on systemd and
requires a fully-qualified image reference to be used to create the
container. This enforcement is necessary to know which image to
actually check and pull. If we used an image ID, we would not know
which image to check/pull anymore.

the podman generated systemd service file has `Type=forking` service,
so the command after `ExecStart=` should not run in front.
if someone created a container and has the detach(`-d`) param missing
like this
```
podman create --name ngxdemo -P nginxdemos/hello
```
and generate the file with `--new` param:
```
podman generate systemd --name --new ngxdemo
```
because `podman run xxx` has no `-d` param,
so the container is not run in background and nerver exit.
and systemd will fail to start the service:
```
sudo systemctl start container-ngxdemo.service
Job for container-ngxdemo.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See "systemctl status container-ngxdemo.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

The other direction: fix or clean up elements documented in
man pages but which did/do not exist in actual podman:
* runlabel: add missing "-n" alias for --name
And, remove man page entries for nonexistent options:
* podman commit: --iidfile
* podman container runlabel: --rootfs, --storage
* podman create: --cpu-count
There are two problems I don't know how to deal with. Both
are related to main_local.go:rootCmd.PersistentFlags() :
1) podman-build.1.md documents --cni-config-dir and
--runtime options, but these are not actually options
under podman build; they are global options. The
documentation in this man page differs from that
under podman-build.
2) podman ps implements a binary --namespace option,
but this option does not (cannot?) appear in --help
because there's a global --namespace string option
and Cobra somehow gets confused about this.
Do we really intend for global options to be parsed on
the right-hand side of subcommands? This strikes me as
unintuitive and potentially confusing, although the
fact that it has taken me this long to discover it
suggests that it's not _that_ confusing.
Suggestions welcome. I can file issues for 1/2 above,
or simply teach my script to special-case ignore them.

I wrote a script to cross-reference podman --help against
man pages. It found a bunch of inconsistencies fix them:
* options missing from man pages
* options misspelled or misformatted in man pages (usually
misplaced asterisks or missing dashes, but see --dns-opt)
* one spurious comma in the actual source file --help
This is a fix in which I iterate over 'podman CMD --help'
and check for presence in man pages. The other way around
(look for flags in man pages, check podman CMD --help)
is probably impossible: there are too many special cases

When enabling a systemd service we can specify which target will start
it by specifying it in the `[INSTALL]` section. In case of root, this
is commonly set to `multi-user.target` which is used to start other
essential system services such as the network manager, D-BUS and more.
However, the `multi-user.target` is not enough on all systems,
especially when running rootless and enabling user services. Multiple
users have reported issues that there isn't even an attempt to start the
service.
Setting the INSTALL target to `default.target` will fix the rootless
case. However, `default.target` may vary among systems. Fedora
Workstation, for instance, sets the `default.target` to the graphical
target (i.e., runlevel 5) while Fedora Server sets it to
`multi-user.target` which is on runlevel 2 and hence way earlier in the
startup sequence.
As INSTALL allows for specifying multiple INSTALL targets, we can set it
to `multi-user.target` to continue supporting existing workloads AND to
`default.target` which MAY redundantly attempt to start it at a later point;
effectively a NOP for the root case and essential for rootless.

This patch allows users to specify the list of capabilities required
to run their container image.
Setting a image/container label "io.containers.capabilities=setuid,setgid"
tells podman that the contained image should work fine with just these two
capabilties, instead of running with the default capabilities, podman will
launch the container with just these capabilties.
If the user or image specified capabilities that are not in the default set,
the container will print an error message and will continue to run with the
default capabilities.

Signed-off-by: Brent Baude <bbaude@redhat.com>
Looks like a bit of a misunderstanding from early on.
Docker implements --filter=since=IMAGE. Podman implements 'after'
instead of 'since'. Add an equivalent case statement to handle
both, keeping 'after' because we have no way of knowing if it
is used in the field.
Update documentation ... and fix what looks like a complete
misinterpretation of what the code actually does: the man page
claimed that these were time fields, but I don't see any
possible incantation in which a time value works or could
work. Updated docs to reflect IMAGE usage. Also changed
nonworking '==' to single '='.
Added tests. [UPDATE: skip with broken podman-remote]

I saw some bad formatting when reading "man podman-run" and
proceeded to fix it. I have now opened a can of worms...
This commit tries to fix some of the formatting, wording and
other bugs I came across (unfortunately not all of them).
Can't list every fix that I made here, but in general:
- format lists as such (prepend items with "- ");
- format examples as such (enclose in ```...```);
- format literal values (option names, literal values) as **bold**;
- format man page references as **page**(1).
- format replacements (option values) and file names as _italic_;
- remove some duplicate info (such as what's the default value);
- move option value description to option syntax;
- end sentences with a period.
To test:
```console
$ make docs
$ man ./docs/build/man/podman-run.1 ### check terminal formatting
$ man -Tps ./docs/build/man/podman-run.1 > podman-run.ps
$ ps2pdf podman-run.ps ### optional
$ evince podman-run.pdf ### check printer formatting (or use ps viewr
```
NOTE
- there is much more to do here;
- I haven't checked any factual contents, this is about formatting
