This code is used to access files in Docker or Podman containers that are
running on the same system as Emacs. It calls the Docker or Podman program
to spawn a shell inside the container to communicate with. It is similar
to the su or sudo Tramp methods, in that the connection to the "remote"
system involves shared kernel resources (unless Docker or Podman itself
eventually chooses to do something else).
