Allow podman pod create to accept name argument

I am constantly attempting to add the podname to the last
argument to podman pod create. Allowing this makes it match
podman volume create and podman network create.

It does not match podman container create, since podman container create
arguments specify the arguments to run with the container.

Still need to support the --name option for backwards compatibility.
