{create,run} --replace
Add a `--replace` flag to the `container {create,run}` commands. If another container with the same name already exists, it will be replaced and removed. Adding this flag is motivated by #5485 to make running Podman in systemd units (or any other scripts/automation) more robust. In case of a crash, a container may not be removed by a sytemd unit anymore. The `--replace` flag allows for supporting crashes. Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg <rothberg@redhat.com>
