Ed Santiago 1ed9a47409 Man pages: refactor common options: --restart
Only applicable to podman-create and -run. I went with the -run
version because it is cleaner and more recently updated.

#### **--restart**=*policy*
Restart policy to follow when containers exit.
Restart policy will not take effect if a container is stopped via the **podman kill** or **podman stop** commands.
Valid _policy_ values are:
- `no` : Do not restart containers on exit
- `on-failure[:max_retries]` : Restart containers when they exit with a non-zero exit code, retrying indefinitely or until the optional *max_retries* count is hit
- `always` : Restart containers when they exit, regardless of status, retrying indefinitely
- `unless-stopped` : Identical to **always**
Please note that restart will not restart containers after a system reboot.
If this functionality is required in your environment, you can invoke Podman from a **systemd.unit**(5) file, or create an init script for whichever init system is in use.
To generate systemd unit files, please see **podman generate systemd**.
