- Update "See also" sections
Toolbox does not use Buildah for a considerable time now[0]. We can stop
referencing it in the "See also" sections of the documentation.
In some places mention podman command man pages where they are relevant.
- Add section about toolbox images/containers
Toolbox only supports certain OCI images. These should be documented.
Also, document the change of fedora-toolbox image name.
- Add a section about toolbox container setup
Toolbox containers are specifically configured OCI containers. This
should be documented so that users know what they're using.
- Remove redundant part documentation
The description of what `toolbox init-container` does is already in
toolbox-init-container(1). There's no need to have it in
toolbox-create(1). Instead, replace the text with a hint to visit the
other part of documentation.
- Clarify behaviour of --image option
The fact that Toolbox by default tries to pull from the Fedora
registry[1] should be noted.
- Update synopsis & description of commands
Mention options passed to `podman exec`. Remove redundant paragraph
about container names (is already dealt with in toolbox-create(1)).
There's no need to mention the name of the default container on Fedora
since Toolbox now also supports RHEL.
Mention the default used image on unrecognised systems.
Emphasize the fact that toolboxes are not a fully sandboxed environment.
Update the wording of the description and splits it into a few
subsections.
The description of the --monitor-host was inaccurate and while the
option will go away in the future[2], it is currently in and should be
more documented.

The Go implementation prefers a newer syntax for assigning a custom
name to a toolbox container. The --container option is still supported
for backwards compatibility, but the manuals should show the new
workflow.

This is meant to allow the user to create toolbox containers of
operating system distributions that are different from that of the
host and isn't Fedora.

It's useful to know things like a running toolbox container has to be
stopped before removal or 'rm --force' needs to be used, etc.. This is
implicitly tied to the fact that entering a toolbox container is
equivalent to a 'podman start' followed by a 'podman exec'.
