podman search: display only name and description by default
Change the default format of `podman search` to only display the name and the description of each image. The index is redundant to the name and consumes a lot of space, and other descriptors (i.e., stars, official, automated) are specific to Docker Hub and also consume a lot space. Users can still use `--format` for displaying the descriptors they want to. Add a `--compatible` flag to offer an easy way to get them back. Also update the man page to account for the behavior and get some fresh data in the examples. Motivated by a recent conversation in libimage: https://github.com/containers/common/pull/802#issuecomment-937108734 Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg <rothberg@redhat.com>
