Issue Description

When building podman with a lot of cores, like make -j64, it seems the markdown preprocessor is racey and doesn't like this.

The build will fail with

While forcing -j1 seems to work fine.

hack/markdown-preprocess
if [ ! -x "/usr/bin/go-md2man" ]; then \
	make -C test/tools build/go-md2man ; \
fi
mkdir -p docs/build/man
make: Leaving directory '/build/podman/src/podman'
make: Entering directory '/build/podman/src/podman'
if [ ! -x "/usr/bin/go-md2man" ]; then \
	make -C test/tools build/go-md2man ; \
fi
mkdir -p docs/build/man
(cd docs; ./dckrman.sh ./build/man/*.1)

I think it's related to this commit as this did not happen with 4.3.0.

Hello 👋 . I'm a maintainer for the Homebrew project. We are seeing this trying to build podman v4.4.0. podman builds fine if we do not try to build docs. Relevant GitHub Actions run: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/actions/runs/4071150551/jobs/7012750769

Relates to Homebrew/homebrew-core#122122

One of the tmpfiles was not uniquely named, resulting in
conflicts with parallel 'make docs'. Fix that.

A better solution would be to run only one instance of the
preprocess script, but the Makefile incantation for that
is beyond me. This approach is CPU-wasteful but good enough.

Fixes: containers#17322
