Currently --tmpdir changes the location of the pause.pid file. this
causes issues because the c code in pkg/rootless does not know about
that. I tried to fix this[1] by fixing the c code to not use the
shortcut. While this fix worked it will result in many pause processes
leaking in the integrration tests.
Commit ab88632 added this behavior but following the disccusion it was
never the intention that we end up having more than one pause process.
The issues that was trying to fix was caused by somthing else AFAICT,
the main problem seems to be that the pause.pid file parent directory
may not be created when we try to create the pid file so it failed with
ENOENT. This patch fixes it by creating this directory always and revert
the change to no longer depend on the tmpdir value.
With this commit we now always use XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libpod/tmp/pause.pid
for all podman processes. This allows the c shortcut to work reliably
and should therefore improve perfomance over my other approach.
A system test is added to ensure we see the right behavior and that
podman system migrate actually stops the pause process. Thanks to Ed
Santiago for the improved test to make it work for both `catatonit` and
`podman pause`.
This should fix the issues with namespace missmatches that we can see in
CI as flakes.

Previously, we always computed pause path from the Rootless
runtime directory. Problem: this does not match the behavior of
Libpod when the directory changes. Libpod will continue to use
the previous directory, cached in the database; Pause pidfiles
will swap to the new path. This is problematic when the directory
needs to exist to write the pidfile, and Libpod is what creates
the directory.
There are two potential solutions - allow the pause pidfile to
move and just make the directory when we want to write it, or use
the cached Libpod paths for a guaranteed location. This patch
does the second, because it seems safer - we will never miss a
previously-existing pidfile because the location is now
consistent.

rework an error path so that users can run the windows remote client.
also, create the basedir path for the podman-remote.conf file if it does
not exist already.

Touch up a number of formating issues for XDG_RUNTIME_DIRS in a number
of man pages. Make use of the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable
in a rootless environment if available, or set it if not.
Also added a number of links to the Rootless Podman config page and
added the location of the auth.json files to that doc.

use a pause process to keep the user and mount namespace alive.
The pause process is created immediately on reload, and all successive
Podman processes will refer to it for joining the user&mount
namespace.
This solves all the race conditions we had on joining the correct
namespaces using the conmon processes.
As a fallback if the join fails for any reason (e.g. the pause process
was killed), then we try to join the running containers as we were
doing before.

We were always raising an error when the rootless user attempted to
setup resources, but this is not the case anymore with cgroup v2.
