Podman Desktop support

[lgfa29]

RedHat announced the general availability of Podman Desktop 1.0.

I quickly explored how it interacts with Nomad and Podman driver and I'm documenting the early findings here on macOS.

1. Podman Desktop attempts to run in Docker-compatility mode using the podman-mac-helper script, which maps the /var/run/docker socket to Podman.

   This is a known issue that causes Nomad to incorrectly fingerprint Docker as available. While Podman CLI has a high degree of compatibility with Docker, the underlying APIs are rather different, which causes allocations to fail.
   

2. The nomad-driver-podman task driver is not available in Darwin or Windows binary format.

3. The nomad-driver-podman task driver doesn't seem to work with Podman Desktop because the connection with the connection point to the Podman API is over SSH instead of a socket.

Is there any update on the availability of a Windows binary?
