This PR adds support for building the Linux packages with Podman when Docker Buildx is unavailable.

  • Docker Buildx remains the default path.
  • Podman is used automatically as a fallback.
  • Documentation updated.
  • Dockerfiles remain unchanged.

Thank you very much for the PR. I'm not sure if we should support both, since it would mean significantly more maintenance effort with little benefit. I'll discuss this internally.
