Pod Device Support
added support for pod devices. The device gets added to the infra container and recreated in all containers that join the pod. This required a new container config item to keep track of the original device passed in by the user before the path was parsed into the container device. Signed-off-by: cdoern <cdoern@redhat.com>

+#### **--device**=_host-device_[**:**_container-device_][**:**_permissions_]
+
+Add a host device to the pod. Optional *permissions* parameter
+can be used to specify device permissions It is a combination of
+**r** for read, **w** for write, and **m** for **mknod**(2).
+
+Example: **--device=/dev/sdc:/dev/xvdc:rwm**.
+
+Note: if _host_device_ is a symbolic link then it will be resolved first.
+The pod will only store the major and minor numbers of the host device.
+
+Note: the pod implements devices by storing the initial configuration passed by the user and recreating the device on each container added to the pod.
+
+Podman may load kernel modules required for using the specified
+device. The devices that Podman will load modules for when necessary are:
+/dev/fuse.
