generate systemd: clarify limitations of `--new`
`generate systemd --new` is looking at the "create command" of the
container/pod which is simply the os.Args at creation time.
It does not work on containers or pods created via the REST API since
the create command is not set. `--new` does work on such containers and
pods since there is no reliable way to reverse-map their configs to
command-line arguments of podman.
Fixes: #11370
