Giuseppe Scrivano 01d397a658 podman: new option --preserve-fd
add a new option --preserve-fd that allows to specify a list of FDs to
pass down to the container.

It is similar to --preserve-fds but it allows to specify a list of FDs
instead of the maximum FD number to preserve.

--preserve-fd and --preserve-fds are mutually exclusive.

It requires crun since runc would complain if any fd below
--preserve-fds is not preserved.

Closes: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/20844

## DESCRIPTION
**podman exec** executes a command in a running container.
## OPTIONS
#### **--detach**, **-d**
Start the exec session, but do not attach to it. The command runs in the background, and the exec session is automatically removed when it completes. The **podman exec** command prints the ID of the exec session and exits immediately after it starts.

## Exit Status
The exit code from `podman exec` gives information about why the command within the container failed to run or why it exited. When `podman exec` exits with a
non-zero code, the exit codes follow the `chroot` standard, see below:
**125** The error is with Podman itself
$ podman exec --foo ctrID /bin/sh; echo $?
Error: unknown flag: --foo
125
**126** The _contained command_ cannot be invoked
$ podman exec ctrID /etc; echo $?
Error: container_linux.go:346: starting container process caused "exec: \"/etc\": permission denied": OCI runtime error
126
**127** The _contained command_ cannot be found
$ podman exec ctrID foo; echo $?
Error: container_linux.go:346: starting container process caused "exec: \"foo\": executable file not found in $PATH": OCI runtime error
127
**Exit code** The _contained command_ exit code
$ podman exec ctrID /bin/sh -c 'exit 3'; echo $?
3
## EXAMPLES
```
$ podman exec -it ctrID ls
$ podman exec -it -w /tmp myCtr pwd
$ podman exec --user root ctrID ls
```
