TPA-RFC-58: install a podman runner

we have two places where we feel we might be able to do more with podman as a runner backend instead of docker:

Obviously, introducing a new podman runner could raise new issues, but it's something we've been meaning to do for a while and if it has the chance of fixing things, it seems worth a try.

This, obviously, would need to run bookworm to get the latest and greatest podman that works with GitLab.

Update: VM and runner deployed, limited to jobs tagged with podman, testing requested on tor-project with https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/policy/tpa-rfc-58-podman-runner
