podman: Add version 6.1.4
52dfa95 
Copy podman-5.6.2-0.build.sh and update podman and its helpers to the
latest upstream releases:

  podman          5.6.2            -> 6.1.4
  conmon          2.1.13           -> 2.2.1
  runc            1.3.2            -> 1.5.2 (commit 29dd3dc)
  crun            1.24             -> 1.30.1
  passt           2025_09_19       -> 2026_10_02.cba3570
  netavark        1.16.1           -> 2.1.0
  aardvark-dns    1.16.0           -> 2.1.0
  python-dotenv   1.1.1            -> 1.2.4
  podman-compose  1.5.0            -> 1.6.0

go-md2man 2.0.7 and catatonit 0.2.1 are still current.

netavark 2.1.0 and aardvark-dns 2.1.0 set rust-version = "1.88", so
rustc 1.86.0 is too old. Use /pkg/rustc-1.97.0-0, the newest installed
rustc.

podman 6 vendors containers/common as go.podman.io/common, so the two
sed patches for the netavark plugin and helper binary directories now
point to vendor/go.podman.io/common/pkg/config/. The patched lines are
unchanged.

podman 6.1.4 requires Go 1.26 (go.mod), runc 1.5.2 Go 1.25. The system
Go is 1.27.0. podman-compose 1.6.0 requires Python >= 3.10, which
python-3.12.8-0 from the profile satisfies.

podman-6.1.4-0: Build runc without libpathrs
49f254a 
runc 1.5.2 adds libpathrs to the default build tags, so building it
fails, as there is no libpathrs package:

    + go-md2man -in runc.8.md -out ./man8/runc.8
    # cyphar.com/go-pathrs/internal/libpathrs
    # [pkg-config --cflags  -- pathrs]
    Package pathrs was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pathrs.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    No package 'pathrs' found
    make: *** [Makefile:85: runc-bin] Error 1

Remove the tag with RUNC_BUILDTAGS=-libpathrs. runc then uses the
pure-Go pathrs-lite vendored from filepath-securejoin, the successor of
the filepath-securejoin 0.4.1 code that runc 1.3.2 in podman-5.6.2-0
used. Building libpathrs (Rust, clang, lld) as another component is
not worth it, as podman prefers crun over runc.

podman-6.1.4-0: Drop netavark binary from plugin directories
6cf7246 
The script appends $PREFIX/libexec/podman/netavark to
DefaultNetavarkPluginDirs to avoid

    Error: could not find "netavark" ...

That list is for directories holding netavark plugins, and the entry is
the netavark binary itself, which `make install` in netavark puts into
$(LIBEXECDIR)/podman. podman never looks for the binary there. It uses

    conf.FindHelperBinary(netavarkBinary, false)

in vendor/go.podman.io/common/libnetwork/network/interface.go, which
searches helper_binaries_dir. The second patch already adds
$PREFIX/libexec/podman to defaultHelperBinariesDir, so that patch alone
lets podman find netavark (and aardvark-dns).

For the plugin list, getAllPlugins() in libnetwork/netavark/config.go
calls os.ReadDir() on every entry and ignores errors, so a file there is
silently skipped. The only other user passes it as --plugin-directory
to netavark, which is pointless for a file.

Remove the patch and move its comment to the helper directory patch.

podman-6.1.4-0: Do not break the TESTING check under set -u
83f7031 
The check

    if [ -n "$TESTING" ]; then PREFIX=/scratch/local2/... ; fi

works only because it runs before `set -eu`. If it ever moves below,
for example when the preamble is reordered, every build without
TESTING aborts:

    TESTING: unbound variable

Use ${TESTING:-}, so the check does not depend on where it sits.
