New flags in a `podman update` can change the configuration of HealthCheck when the container is started, without having to restart or recreate the container. This can help determine why a given container suddenly started failing HealthCheck without interfering with the services it provides. For example, reconfigure HealthCheck to keep logs longer than the usual last X results, store logs to other destinations, etc. Fixes: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-60561 Signed-off-by: Jan Rodák <hony.com@seznam.cz>

--health-startup-cmd="command" | '["command", "arg1", ...]'
Set a startup healthcheck command for a container. This command is executed inside the container and is used to gate the regular healthcheck. When the startup command succeeds, the regular healthcheck begins and the startup healthcheck ceases. Optionally, if the command fails for a set number of attempts, the container is restarted. A startup healthcheck can be used to ensure that containers with an extended startup period are not marked as unhealthy until they are fully started. Startup healthchecks can only be used when a regular healthcheck (from the container's image or the --health-cmd option) is also set.
