rootless: Rearrange setup of rootless containers

In order to run Podman with VM-based runtimes unprivileged, the
network must be set up prior to the container creation. Therefore
this commit modifies Podman to run rootless containers by:
  1. create a network namespace
  2. pass the netns persistent mount path to the slirp4netns
     to create the tap inferface
  3. pass the netns path to the OCI spec, so the runtime can
     enter the netns

Closes #2897
