The cidfile should be created when the container is created

Currently if you run an interactive session of podman run and
specifiy the --cidfile option, the cidfile will not get created
until the container finishes running.  If you run a detached
container, it will get created right away.  This Patch creates
the cidfile as soon as the container is created.  This could allow
other tools to use the cidefile on all running containers.
