add the ability for the podman remote client to use a configuration file which describes its connections. users can now define a connection the configuration and then call it by name like: podman-remote -c connection1 and the destination and user will be derived from the configuration file. if no -c is provided, we look for a connection in the configuration file designated as 'default'. If the configuration file has only one connection, it will be deemed the 'default'. Signed-off-by: baude <bbaude@redhat.com>

NAME
podman-remote.conf - configuration file for the podman remote client
DESCRIPTION
The libpod.conf file is the default configuration file for all tools using libpod to manage containers.
The podman-remote.conf file is the default configuration file for the podman remote client. It is in the TOML format. It is primarily used to keep track of the user's remote connections.
CONNECTION OPTIONS
destination = "" The hostname or IP address of the remote system
username = "" The username to use when connecting to the remote system
default = bool
Denotes whether the connection is the default connection for the user. The default connection
is used when the user does not specify a destination or connection name to podman.
EXAMPLE
The following example depicts a configuration file with two connections. One of the connections is designated as the default connection.
[connections]
[connections.host1]
destination = "host1"
username = "homer"
default = true
[connections.host2]
destination = "192.168.122.133"
username = "fedora"
FILES
/$HOME/.config/containers/podman-remote.conf, default location for the podman remote
configuration file
