podman: support --mount type=devpts

Allow to create a devpts mount.

This is useful for containers that bind mount /dev/ from the host but
at the same time want to create a terminal.

It can be used as:

podman run -v /dev:/dev --mount type=devpts,target=/dev/pts ...

Closes: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/6804
