Description of changes

This package provides a user-mode networking tool that can be used with virtual machines (passt) and namespaces (pasta), like SLIRP and slirp4netns, which are already packaged in NixOS.

It is especially useful when one wants to provide networking access to an unprivileged container. It uses a different implementation than SLIRP, supports zero-copy for local connections, is more optimized and generally provides higher throughput than other MTU-based solutions. When available, It is the default networking mode for rootlless podman.

Hello,

What is the current status of this PR?
I've experimented it with podman 5 (RC5) as podman 5 seems to be using pasta as the default network provider (see previous discourse reference).
It seems to work so far but needs additional testing.
The result of pasta --version seems rather strange also.

@alyssais @FliegendeWurst Kind ping, this seems ready for review again.

I understand that this is a blocker for Podman v5, CC @marsam @saschagrunert @vdemeester.
