method RestartPod(name: [string](https://godoc.org/builtin#string)) [string](https://godoc.org/builtin#string)
RestartPod will restart containers in a pod given a pod name or ID. Containers in
the pod that are running will be stopped, then all stopped containers will be run.
If the pod cannot be found by name or ID, a [PodNotFound](#PodNotFound) error will be returned.
Containers in a pod are restarted independently. If there is an error restarting one container, the ID of those containers
will be returned in a list, along with the ID of the pod in a [PodContainerError](#PodContainerError).
If the pod was restarted with no errors, the pod ID is returned.
