Introduce 'Starting' status for machines

- The State() function now returns machine.Starting status instead of an
  empty string if the VM is in the process of starting.

- The `CheckExclusiveActiveVM()` function returns `true` to prevent
  starting a VM while another is in the process of starting.

- `podman machine ls` displays "Currently starting" under "Last Up" for
  the starting VM

- `podman machine ls` supports `{{.Starting}}` boolean field in the format

- `podman machine inspect` displays "starting" in the "State" field for
  the starting VM
