Grzegorz Szczepanczyk 1abe0a8f34 docs: clarify partial vs lazy image pulling
The performance tutorial calls Podman's zstd:chunked / eStargz support
"lazy pulling", which isn't accurate. By itself Podman only does partial
pulling: it skips layer content it already has, but the image is still
fully pulled before a container runs. Real lazy pulling, where the image
is mounted before the download finishes, needs an external snapshotter
such as stargz-snapshotter.

Rename the section to "partial pulling" and add a sentence spelling out
the difference, as @giuseppe suggested on the issue.

Fixes: #24947
