Document containers.conf settings for remote connections
Currently we don't document which end of the podman-remote client server operations uses the containers.conf. This PR begins documenting this and then testing to make sure the defaults follow the rules. Fixes: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/7657 Signed-off-by: Daniel J Walsh <dwalsh@redhat.com>
