Can you deploy Podman In Podman GitLab Runner?

Funny name...cool little doohickey. The [container image](https://gitlab.com/qontainers/pipglr/container_registry/3616194) built and hosted here provides an easy/low-effort method to host a [rootless-podman](https://podman.io) based rootless [GitLab runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/) for [gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com) CI/CD jobs. The image also contains a periodic cleanup process to prevent the host disk from infinitely filling up over time.
