Using a non-supported distribution via `--distro` resulted in a silent
fallback to the Fedora image which confuses users. When a faulty release
format was used with `--release` a message without any hint about the
correct format was shown to the user.
This separates distro and release parsing into two chunks that have
greater control over error reporting and provides more accurate error
reports for the user.

Instead of typing out two function names to set up the test environment,
type out only one. We never know if a new set up function will show up.

This allows to run the test suite without having to worry about blasting
the whole local state of Podman.
This is done by creating a configuration file with a custom path for the
storage of Podman and specifying the config file using an env var.
The used location for the temporary storage is located either under
XDG_CACHE_HOME and if the one is not defined, $HOME/.cache is used
instead. The data are namespaced. This follows the XDG Base Directory
Specification[0]. Other locations could be /tmp or /run but those
locations usually use tmpfs and that filesystem can not be used by
Podman[1] due to missing features in tmpfs.

These tests need to be implemented in the future but they require some
magic with socat or similar tools as entering a container is creating
a new subshell and that is hard to monitor from a bash script. Better
not to forget then.
