Clark Boylan e86a1c6f96 Run containers on Noble with docker compose and podman
There are two major issues we are trying to address here. The first is
that docker-compose (python implementation) is EOL and does not work
with python3.12. Instead we need to use docker compose (golang
implementation) on newer platforms like Noble. We're taking advantage of
the clean break between distro releases to do a migration of the
container management system rather than try and replace docker-compose
with docker compose in place on existing servers.

Second the docker runtime can only deal with mirrors for images hosted
on docker hub. This impacts our ability to speculatively test images
that are hosted on quay (or elsewhere) with docker since speculative
image testing currently relies on mirror configuration to provide
unreleased images to test environments. By switching the runtime to
podman instead of docker behind docker compose we fix this second
problem. Again the clean break between distro releases is a convenient
time to make ths witch rather than doing it in place.

Some design considerations include:

 * Not bothering with docker ce packaging and instead relying on
   packages in Ubuntu Noble
 * Configuring the podman service to listen on a socket located where
   docker's socket typically lives. This avoids needing environment
   overrides every time we run docker compose.
 * Not adding a special podman group for this. We effectively manage
   things as root or via sudo so we can keep this simple for now.

Future updates may include installation of docker compose and/or podman
from upstream sources. We could add a podman group. We may also switch
to using user owner podman daemons and reduce some privilege.

An ansible role to install docker in the OpenStack infra production environment

This also installs a log redirector for syslog `docker- tags. For most containers, they can be setup in the compose file with a section such as:

logging:
  driver: syslog
  options:
    tag: docker-<appname>
