Since pasta is now considered a network mode using it as network name
causes a conflict. For now we will prefer the named network but in a
future major version bump we want to remove this and just use pasta(1).
The docs should reflect that this name is considered deprecated.

Conceptually equivalent to networking by means of slirp4netns(1),
with a few practical differences:
- pasta(1) forks to background once networking is configured in the
namespace and quits on its own once the namespace is deleted:
file descriptor synchronisation and PID tracking are not needed
- port forwarding is configured via command line options at start-up,
instead of an API socket: this is taken care of right away as we're
about to start pasta
- there's no need for further selection of port forwarding modes:
pasta behaves similarly to containers-rootlessport for local binds
(splice() instead of read()/write() pairs, without L2-L4
translation), and keeps the original source address for non-local
connections like slirp4netns does
- IPv6 is not an experimental feature, and enabled by default. IPv6
port forwarding is supported
- by default, addresses and routes are copied from the host, that is,
container users will see the same IP address and routes as if they
were in the init namespace context. The interface name is also
sourced from the host upstream interface with the first default
route in the routing table. This is also configurable as documented
- sandboxing and seccomp(2) policies cannot be disabled
- only rootless mode is supported.
See https://passt.top for more details about pasta.
Also add a link to the maintained build of pasta(1) manual as valid
in the man page cross-reference checks: that's where the man page
for the latest build actually is -- it's not on Github and it doesn't
match any existing pattern, so add it explicitly.

This just fixes the indentation which was previously breaking the
list such that the various network modes were just mixed into one large
paragraph instead of a list.

In each options/foo.md, keep a list of where the option is used.
This will be valuable to anyone making future edits, and to
those reviewing those edits.
This may be a controversial commit, because those crossref lists
are autogenerated as a side effect of the script that reads them.
It definitely violates POLA. And one day, some kind person will
reconcile (e.g.) --label, using it in more man pages, and maybe
forget to git-commit the rewritten file, and CI will fail.
I think this is a tough tradeoff, but worth doing. Without this,
it's much too easy for someone to change an option file in a way
that renders it inapplicable/misleading for some podman commands.

Tricky one. In particular: podman-kube-play did not enumerate
the "host" option; here I take the liberty of using it in the
common network.md, so it will appear in podman-kube-play.1.
If that is wrong, please tell me ASAP: I will need to un-refactor
podman-kube-play.
Other decisions:
* move the "invalid if" text to the bottom, because it can't
be shared between pod and container man pages.
* ditto for "together with --pod"
* kube-play said "Change the network mode of"; all the others
said ">SET< the network mode >FOR< ...". I chose the latter,
so that's what kube-play will have also. Again, if that's
wrong, please lmk.
