Jan Kaluza 7612af4c0e Rewrite the Quadlet documentation
This commit does the following:

- Splits the podman-systemd.unit.5.md into multiple files - one for each quadlet file type.
- Adds the podman-quadlet-basic-usage.7.md for quadlet examples.
- Majority of the text in the new files is copied from the podman-systemd.unit.5.md
- Adds support for very simple condditional in the markdown_preprocess.
- Uses new logic in markdown_preprocess in options/*.md to use a single .md file for both
  podman subcommands man-pages and quadlet man-pages. This deduplicates the Quadlet man-pages a lot.
- Adds new `@@option quadlet:source.md`` preprocess command to import such .md files from options directory.

Add Linux capabilities.
Granting additional capabilities increases the privileges of the
processes running inside the container and potentially allow it to
break out of confinement. Capabilities like `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`,
`CAP_SYS_PTRACE`, `CAP_MKNOD` and `CAP_SYS_MODULE` are particularly
dangerous when they are not used within a user namespace. Please
refer to **user_namespaces(7)** for a more detailed explanation of the
interaction between user namespaces and capabilities.
Before adding any capability, review its security implications and
ensure it is really necessary for the containers functionality. See
**capabilities(7)** for more information.
