Setup a reasonable default for pids-limit 4096

CRI-O defaults to 1024 for the maximum pids in a container.  Podman
should have a similar limit. Once we have a containers.conf, we can
set the limit in this file, and have it easily customizable.

Currently the documentation says that -1 sets pids-limit=max, but -1 fails.
This patch allows -1, but also indicates that 0 also sets the max pids limit.
