Removed all CNI-specific documentation from man pages:
- podman.1.md: Simplified --network-config-dir to only mention
netavark directories
- podman-network.1.md: Removed dual backend description, now states
netavark is the only backend
- podman-network-create.1.md: Removed CNI-specific notes about DNS
and DHCP socket configuration
- podman-network-connect.1.md: Removed CNI limitation note about
network aliases
- options/network-alias.md: Removed CNI limitation note about
network aliases
- podman-info.1.md: Updated example output to show netavark backend
information instead of CNI
All man pages now reflect netavark as the sole network backend.

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):

Implements automatic OS upgrade functionality for Podman machines that requires no user input beyond running the command. The upgrade logic automatically determines the appropriate upgrade path using a three-way comparison between client version, machine version, and OCI registry:
* When the client version is older than the machine version, no action is taken and an error is returned.
* When the client version matches the machine version, the OCI registry is queried to check for in-band updates by comparing image digests. This handles minor, patch level, and updates oci image use cases.
* When the client version is newer than the machine version, the machine is upgraded to match the client's major.minor version.
* No manual image selection or version specification required.
The command supports dry-run mode and JSON (only) output format for automation.

Instead of using rpm-ostree, we now use bootc for os apply. the
implementation is a little murky right now and will require some cleanup
to implement bootc's transports. for now, we only support oci images
from registries.
once we have an upgrade command, the transports can be added and the
docs for apply can be ammended to be more clear.

The documentation incorrectly stated that TimeoutStartSec "cannot be
used" with Type=oneshot services. According to systemd.service(5),
the startup timeout is simply disabled by default (set to infinity)
for oneshot services, but TimeoutStartSec can still be explicitly
configured if a timeout is desired.

- 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.

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

Currently our API docs are not working as it fails to fetch the js file
with the redoc code which renders the swagger.
The reason this fails is because we have been tracking the "next"
version and that was recently bumped to v3.0.0-rc.0 which also seem to
have moved the location to use "bundle" (no s). As such we now get a 404
as the CDN doesn't find the file. [1]
I don't get why we have been tracking next to begin with, using latest
would still work as it points but that could be moved anytime as well so
switch the URL to pull in the lastest v2 version which should be safer
against unexpected changes like that.
While it could of course also break in a minor v2 release hard coding an
exact version would mean a fair amount of churn updating this (which I
guess would not happen) so this looks like the best compromise to me.

This allows users to set the associated machine's system connection to the system default when running `podman machine init --now` or `podman machine start`. It also changes the default bbehavior of these commands in that the user will be prompted and asked if they would like to switch the system connection. It also introduces a command line switch called `--update-connection`. If the switch is unset, then the user will be prmpted. If the command value is explicitly set to `false`, the user will not be prompted and the system connection will not be altered. If the value is set to `true`, the system connection will be made the default and the user will not be prompted.

Add the ability for users to override the default provider when creating mahcines. The new flag is `--provider` and allows you to specifiy a valid vmtype for the platform. This PR also removes the previous list test where we tested listing all providers. I added a PR for testing --provider which includes a standard `machine ls` which defaults now to showing all providers.

For Podman 6, we still have providers and will continue to have a default provider for each platform. But where a platform has multiple providers, we want users to be able to cross provider boudnaries imposed in Podman 4/5. The key change is to look up virtual machines by name, as before, but to then also iterate all possible providers. As of this PR, init will still only create with the default provider, but a subsequent PR will introdouce an provider override.
I also removed the "--all-providers" command line option on `podman
machine ls` because it no longer makes sense. And I marked the all
provider list test to be skipped.
