Remove CNI-specific conditional logic and update comments throughout
the libpod networking code:
- Simplified DNS configuration logic in container_internal_common.go
to always use netavark behavior (removed backend checks)
- Removed CNI-specific iptables chain error regex pattern
- Updated all comments referencing 'CNI' to use 'netavark' or
'network backend'
- Renamed variable 'cniNet' to 'netInfo' for clarity
- Updated field and type documentation to remove CNI references
All networking code now assumes netavark as the sole backend.

Remove runtime configuration options for CNI network backend:
Runtime options:
- Remove WithNetworkBackend() runtime option function
- Function allowed setting network backend programmatically
Flag handling:
- Remove --network-backend flag change detection
- Remove call to WithNetworkBackend() when flag changed
- Remove TODO comment about CNI plugins directory flag
The network backend configuration is now handled entirely by the
vendored common/libnetwork code, which will default to Netavark.
There is no longer any way to configure CNI as the network backend
through Podman's runtime initialization.
Note: libpod/info.go keeps existing NetworkBackend reporting logic
which will automatically report "netavark" as the only backend since
configuration defaults to netavark and cannot be changed to CNI.

use name_to_handle_at and open_by_handle_at to persist rootless
namespaces without needing a pause process.
The namespace file handles are stored in a file and can be used to
rejoin the namespaces, as long as the namespaces still exist.
Fall back to the pause process approach only when the kernel doesn't
support nsfs handles (EOPNOTSUPP).
The feature is currently only enabled when the PODMAN_NO_PAUSE_PROCESS
environment variable is set.
These changes in the kernel are required (landed in Linux 6.18):

There are two fields I'm worried about: shared namespaces and pod
containers. Both are generated via loops over maps and are thus
non-deterministic in ordering. Throw a sort on each to fix the
order so we can actually diff `podman pod inspect` output.

The code checks for isPathOnVolume and isPathOnMount so we can just use
the SecureJoin here directly to check for path existance.
Then instead of walking symlinks and trying to guess if they are on a
mount just assume if it is a link (path is different from the normal
joined one) then don't error out early and let the OCI runtime deal with
it. The runtime does produce a less readable error but it still fails
and we have much less fragile code.

MkdirAll can fail with EEXIST when the path is a symlink and the target
doesn't exist. As such we should ignore the error.
Note there is something fundemantal wrong here with the path access as
it is following the symlink to the host, however it is only for a
stat() so it is not an security issue here.

- Update documentation: Differentiate `unless-stopped` from `always` - containers stopped by the user before a reboot will not restart.
- Add `should-start-on-boot` filter: Identify containers that require a restart after a system reboot.
- Update command documentation: Add `restart-policy` and `label!` filters to the documentation for container commands (rm, ps, start, stop, pause, unpause, restart).
- Add `restart-policy` and `shoud-start-on-boot` to completions.
- Update service: Update `podman-restart.service` to use the `needs-restart=true` filter.
- Preserve state: Preserve the `StoppedByUser` state across reboots.
- Update API: Add a `ShouldStartOnBoot()` method to the Container API.
- Update documentation: Add descriptions for the `should-start-on-boot` filter.

By default, systemd sets a limit of how many times a service can start,
which means that if you have a healthcheck that runs more often than the
limits, systemd will refuse to start it with a message like "Start request
repeated too quickly." emitted to the journal.

This also then bumps github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec to v1.3.0
which contains breaking changes of the pid type as such we had to update
all the podman callers.
And tags.cncf.io/container-device-interface also used some changed
types from it and they have been updated in main so bump to the latest
commit there as well in order to get podman to compile properly.

Fixes: #26588
For use cases like HPC, where `podman exec` is called in rapid succession, the standard exec process can become a bottleneck due to container locking and database I/O for session tracking.
This commit introduces a new `--no-session` flag to `podman exec`. When used, this flag invokes a new, lightweight backend implementation that:
- Skips container locking, reducing lock contention
- Bypasses the creation, tracking, and removal of exec sessions in the database
- Executes the command directly and retrieves the exit code without persisting session state
- Maintains consistency with regular exec for container lookup, TTY handling, and environment setup
- Shares implementation with health check execution to avoid code duplication
The implementation addresses all performance bottlenecks while preserving compatibility with existing exec functionality including --latest flag support and proper exit code handling.
Changes include:
- Add --no-session flag to cmd/podman/containers/exec.go
- Implement lightweight execution path in libpod/container_exec.go
- Ensure consistent container validation and environment setup
- Add comprehensive exit code testing including signal handling (exit 137)
- Optimize configuration to skip unnecessary exit command setup

This also includes a number of significant changes to the SQLite
state made possible by removal of the legacy DB.
1. Enable database unit tests for SQLite state, with numerous
tweaks to get tests passing. Most notable changes are to
container removal - where we previously didn't return an error
if there was no container to remove - and RemovePodContainers,
which I don't think ever worked properly from my reading of
the failures.
2. Removal of AddContainerToPod/RemoveContainerToPod. On SQLite,
these functions are identical to AddContainer/RemoveContainer
and there is no reason to retain duplicates.
3. Removal of SafeRewriteContainerConfig - it's identical to
RewriteContainerConfig in SQLite, no reason to have duplicate
entrypoints.
As an exciting side-note, this removes Podman's requirement that
containers and pods cannot share a name, which was a BoltDB
restriction only.

Tremendous amount of changes in here, but all should amount to
the same thing: changing Go import paths from v5 to v6.
Also bumped go.mod to github.com/containers/podman/v6 and updated
version to v6.0.0-dev.

We started logging this in 5.6. In 5.7, we up to a warning. The
upcoming 5.8 will up the warnings further to errors.
Required as we're removing BoltDB support in 6.0 next Spring.
