1. WIP: Add a /etc/containers/auth.json …

   A long-running tension in the docker/podman land is around
   running as a system service versus being executed by a user.
   (Specifically a "login user", i.e. a Unix user that can be logged
    into via `ssh` etc.)
   
    For login users, it makes total sense to configure the container
    runtime in `$HOME`.
   
    But for system services (e.g. code executed by systemd) it
    is generally a bad idea to access or read the `/root` home
    directory.  On image based systems, `/root` may be dynamically
    mutable state in contrast to `/etc` which may be managed
    by OS upgrades, or even be read-only.
   
    For these reasons, let's introduce `/etc/contaners/auth.json`.
    If it is present, and the current process is executing in
    systemd, it will be preferred.  (There's some further logic
    around this that is explained in the manpage; please see that
    for details)
