Remove --execute from podman machine ssh
The --execute flag ended up serving no purpose. It was removed and documentation was updated. Fixed a panic when no VM name was provided. [NO TESTS NEEDED] Signed-off-by: baude <bbaude@redhat.com>

podman\-machine\-ssh - SSH into a virtual machine
## SYNOPSIS
-**podman machine ssh** [*options*] [*name*] [*command* [*arg* ...]]
+**podman machine ssh** [*name*] [*command* [*arg* ...]]
## DESCRIPTION
-SSH into a Podman-managed virtual machine.
+SSH into a Podman-managed virtual machine and optionally execute a command
+on the virtual machine. Unless using the default virtual machine, the
+first argument must be the virtual machine name. The optional command to
+execute can then follow. If no command is provided, an interactive session
+with the virtual machine is established.
-Podman on MacOS requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux -
-containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality are
-tied to the Linux kernel.
## OPTIONS
-#### **\-\-execute**, **-e**
-
-Execute the given command on the VM
-
#### **\-\-help**
Print usage statement.
## EXAMPLES
+To get an interactive session with the default virtual machine:
+
+```
+$ podman machine ssh
+```
+
To get an interactive session with a VM called `myvm`:
```
$ podman machine ssh myvm
```
+To run a command on the default virtual machine:
+```
+$ podman machine ssh rpm -q podman
+```
+
To run a command on a VM called `myvm`:
```
-$ podman machine ssh -e myvm -- rpm -q podman
+$ podman machine ssh myvm rpm -q podman
```
