podman-generate-systemd --new
Add a --new flag to podman-generate-systemd to create a new container via podman-run instead of starting an existing container. Creating a new container presents the challenge to find a reverse mapping from a container to the CLI flags it can be created with. We are doing this via `(Container).Config.CreateCommand` field, which includes a copy of the process' command from procFS at creating time. This field may not be useful when the container was not created via the Podman CLI (e.g., via a Python script). Hence, we do not guarantee the correctness of the generated files.

Override the default stop timeout for the container with the given value.

Set the systemd restart policy. The restart-policy must be one of: "no", "on-success", "on-failure", "on-abnormal",
"on-watchdog", "on-abort", or "always". The default policy is *on-failure*.
