Ed Santiago 5c9bac141e Man pages: refactor common options: --cpus
Only on podman create and run: the --cpus option on container-clone
and pod-clone can probably be combined, but maybe later. pod-create
has unique wording that can't be combined.

This is a freebie to review: the text in both files was already
identical, and I made no changes to it. hack/markdown-preprocess-review
will agree, and show you no diffs, because there are none worth
seeing.

--cpus=number

Number of CPUs. The default is 0.0 which means no limit. This is shorthand for --cpu-period and --cpu-quota, so you may only set either --cpus or --cpu-period and --cpu-quota.

On some systems, changing the CPU limits may not be allowed for non-root users. For more details, see https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/troubleshooting.md#26-running-containers-with-resource-limits-fails-with-a-permissions-error

This option is not supported on cgroups V1 rootless systems.
