Matthew Heon 9fcfea7643 First batch of resolutions to FIXMEs
Most of these are no longer relevant, just drop the comments.

Most notable change: allow `podman kill` on paused containers.
Works just fine when I test it.

## NAME
podman\-kill - Kill the main process in one or more containers
## SYNOPSIS
**podman kill** [*options*] [*container* ...]
**podman container kill** [*options*] [*container* ...]
## DESCRIPTION
The main process inside each container specified will be sent SIGKILL, or any signal specified with option --signal.
## OPTIONS
#### **--all**, **-a**
Signal all running and paused containers.
#### **--cidfile**
Read container ID from the specified file and remove the container. Can be specified multiple times.
#### **--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. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
#### **--signal**, **-s**
Signal to send to the container. For more information on Linux signals, refer to *man signal(7)*.
## EXAMPLE
Kill container with a given name
```
podman kill mywebserver
```
Kill container with a given ID
```
podman kill 860a4b23
```
Terminate container by sending `TERM` signal
```
podman kill --signal TERM 860a4b23
```
Kill the latest container created by Podman
```
podman kill --latest
```
Terminate all containers by sending `KILL` signal
```
podman kill --signal KILL -a

Kill container using ID specified in a given files
