Add option to run containers with podman instead of docker
My team and I are looking into using the Github Actions runner for self-hosted tests of our project. For various reasons, we'd like to use Podman to run Actions containers instead of Docker, and we're interested in an option that would allow us to specify which container framework to use in the runner app. I'll note that we are not advocating for the replacement of Docker; rather, the addition of a Podman option. We'd potentially be interested in implementing this ourselves and submitting a patch, but we wanted to start a discussion around it and see if it was something the maintainers would be interested in merging. Thoughts welcome.
