[NO TESTS NEEDED] Ignore removed containers

* Ignore condition when containers are removed while listing them for
ps output.

  No tests added at this time as they would create a race condition for
CI.

* Updated godocs

See https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/11810 for reproducer.

Fixes #11810
