Jan Kaluza 7612af4c0e Rewrite the Quadlet documentation
This commit does the following:

- Splits the podman-systemd.unit.5.md into multiple files - one for each quadlet file type.
- Adds the podman-quadlet-basic-usage.7.md for quadlet examples.
- Majority of the text in the new files is copied from the podman-systemd.unit.5.md
- Adds support for very simple condditional in the markdown_preprocess.
- Uses new logic in markdown_preprocess in options/*.md to use a single .md file for both
  podman subcommands man-pages and quadlet man-pages. This deduplicates the Quadlet man-pages a lot.
- Adds new `@@option quadlet:source.md`` preprocess command to import such .md files from options directory.

Set the ipam driver (IP Address Management Driver) for the network. When unset, Podman chooses an ipam driver automatically based on the network driver.

Valid values are:

  • dhcp: IP addresses are assigned from a DHCP server on the network. When using the netavark backend the netavark-dhcp-proxy.socket must be enabled in order to start the DHCP proxy when a container is started, for CNI use the cni-dhcp.socket unit instead.
  • host-local: IP addresses are assigned locally.
  • none: No ip addresses are assigned to the interfaces.

View the driver in the podman network inspect output under the ipam_options field.
