Description:

podmanreceiver uses the official Go podman bindings but the bindings
pull in all of the podman codebase and its dependencies. We are
essentially embedding podman into the collector. This causes a number of
problems both at compile and run time.

This commit ditches the podman library and uses net/http to consume the
podman v3 REST API instead.

This commit also adds a new config option to let users use a specific
podman API endpoint.

Fixes #5244
Fixes #5414
Fixes #5241
Fixes #5245

Testing:
Tested manually with podman machine on macOS.

Documentation:
Documented the new api_version, ssh_key and ssh_passphrase config option. No other changes are required on behalf of users. We swapped the underlying client without changing any behavior.

SSH connections were supported before but it was only possible to configure them via environment variables which was not documented. Now we support it via config and document it.
ssh_key and ssh_passphrase

This was already supported but not documented. This is not a new feature.
