play kube: service container
Add the notion of a "service container" to play kube. A service container is started before the pods in play kube and is (reverse) linked to them. The service container is stopped/removed *after* all pods it is associated with are stopped/removed. In other words, a service container tracks the entire life cycle of a service started via `podman play kube`. This is required to enable `play kube` in a systemd unit file. The service container is only used when the `--service-container` flag is set on the CLI. This flag has been marked as hidden as it is not meant to be used outside the context of `play kube`. It is further not supported on the remote client. The wiring with systemd will be done in a later commit. Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg <vrothberg@redhat.com>
