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 environment variables.
This option allows arbitrary environment variables that are available for the process to be launched inside of the container. If an environment variable is specified without a value, Podman checks the host environment for a value and set the variable only if it is set on the host. As a special case, if an environment variable ending in __*__ is specified without a value, Podman searches the host environment for variables starting with the prefix and adds those variables to the container.
