954589b64b test: Verify that podman tests are using the pasta binary we expect
Paul Holzinger pointed out that when we invoke the podman tests inside the
passt testsuite, the way we point podman at the newly built pasta binary
is kind of indirect.  It's therefore prudent to check that podman is
actually using the binary we expect it to - in particular that it is using
the binary built in this tree, not some system installed pasta binary.

489b28e216 test: catatonit may not be in $PATH
The pasta_podman/bats test script looks for 'catatonit' amongst other tools
to be avaiiliable on the host.  However, while the podman tests do require
catatonit, it doesn't necessarily need to be in the regular path.  For
example Fedora and RHEL place catatonit in /usr/libexec and podman finds it
there fine.

Therefore, remove it as an htools dependency.

f9fe3ae5dd test: Build and download podman as a test asset
The pasta_podman/bats test scrpt downloads and builds podman, then runs its
pasta specific tests.  Downloading from within a test case has some
drawbacks:
 * It can be very tedious if you have poor connectivity to the server
 * It makes a test that's ostensibly for pasta itself dependent on the
   state of the github server
 * It precludes runnning the tests in an isolated network environment

The same concerns largely apply to building podman too, because it's pretty
common for Go builds to download dependencies themselves.  Therefore move
the download and build of podman from the test itself, to the Makefile
where we prepare other test assets.

To avoid cryptic failures if something went wrong with the build, make
running the test dependent on having the built podman binary.

ee58f37db0 test: Add Podman system test with bats for pasta
Ugly as hell, but we keep breaking things otherwise, and I keep
forgetting to run this manually (as long as it's based on my local
Podman setup, that's the only alternative).

We need to clone the Podman repository as distribution packages don't
contain test scripts, typically. While at it, build the latest
version which is what really matters.

As we're planning anyway to revamp the test framework, I'd be
inclined to just add this without too many thoughts, and have it as
a nice-to-have requirement reminder for the new framework.
