Jan Kaluza c12b1b32bc Rewrite the Quadlet documentation.
This commit does the following:

- Splits the podman-systemd.unit.5.md into multiple files - one for each
  quadlet file type, podman-quadlet.7.md for general quadlet information
  and podman-quadlet-basic-usage.7.md for quadlet examples.
- Removes the original podman-systemd.unit.5.md file.
- Adds support for jinja2 templating language in the markdown_preprocess.
- Uses jinja2 in options/*.md to use the single .md file for both podman
  subcommands man-pages and quadlet man-pages. This deduplicates
  the Quadlet man-pages a lot.
- Adds new `@@option quadlet:source.md` preprocess command to import
  such .md files from options directory.

#### **--restart**=*policy*
Restart policy to follow when containers exit.
Restart policy does 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
- `never` : Synonym for **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**
Podman provides a systemd unit file, podman-restart.service, which restarts containers after a system reboot.
When running containers in systemd services, use the restart functionality provided by systemd.
In other words, do not use this option in a container unit, instead set the `Restart=` systemd directive in the `[Service]` section.
See **podman-quadlet**(7) and **systemd.service**(5).
