Inspect should be able to inspect one or more containers depending on the user input. Therefore, inspect output should be in array format so the consumer could potentially iterate it. This PR allows users to specify one more or containers|images|or a mix for inspection. The output, as stated, is therefore in array form. This holds true even for a singular image. In the case that the user enters an invalid container|image "name", we handle that gracefully. Podman will output json for the valid names until it reaches the invalid one. For example: In this case, podman will out the json for alpine and then print an error about 123 being invalid. It will not continute onto busybox. This behavior imatates docker.

NAME
podman inspect - Display a container or image's configuration
SYNOPSIS
podman inspect [options [...]] name [...]
DESCRIPTION
This displays the low-level information on containers and images identified by name or ID. By default, this will render all results in a JSON array. If the container and image have the same name, this will return container JSON for unspecified type. If a format is specified, the given template will be executed for each result.
OPTIONS
--type, t="TYPE"
Return data on items of the specified type. Type can be 'container', 'image' or 'all' (default: all)
--format, -f="FORMAT"
Format the output using the given Go template
--latest, -l Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.
--size
Display the total file size if the type is a container
EXAMPLE
# podman inspect fedora
