Replace vendored docker-compose with podman-compose

podman-compose and docker-compose aren't discovered the same way by
`podman compose` - verified live (a fake-binary test reading podman's own
provider-search error output) that docker-compose is searched for by
exact path across a fixed list of CLI-plugin directories, while
podman-compose is instead looked up as a plain command on $PATH. This
package installs to /usr/local/bin/podman-compose accordingly, not under
any cli-plugins/ directory.

Unlike docker-compose (a single static Go binary), podman-compose is a
Python script with two runtime dependencies neither of which ship with
Unraid's own Python3 - PyYAML and python-dotenv, vendored here as plain
pure-Python source (no C extension build; PyYAML's own fallback handles
its optional C accelerator being absent).

Verified end-to-end on a real host: with the previous docker-compose
binary temporarily moved aside to confirm podman-compose was actually the
one invoked, `podman compose up/ps/down` ran a real compose project
correctly, including a live HTTP check against the started service.

# packages/docker-compose/
Pinned version: see `DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION` in [versions.env](../../versions.env).
Not built from source — `docker-compose.SlackBuild` fetches and repackages
upstream's own prebuilt static x86_64 release binary (`docker/compose`,
the Go-based Compose v2 CLI plugin — a different project from the older
Python `podman-compose`). It's a small, purely static ELF with zero
runtime library dependencies (verified: `ldd` reports "not a dynamic
executable"), so there's nothing meaningful to gain from a from-source
build.
`podman compose` (backing the WebUI's Compose panel, see
`webui/plugins/podman/ajax/compose.php`) has no compose implementation of
its own — it shells out to an "external compose provider" it discovers by
searching a fixed list of CLI-plugin directories for a binary named
`docker-compose`. Without one present, every Compose panel action fails
outright. Installed to `/usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose`
— one of podman's own search paths (extracted from the pinned podman
binary: `strings /usr/bin/podman | grep cli-plugins`), chosen specifically
under `/usr/local/` rather than `/usr/lib/docker/...` so this package
never collides with (or gets silently shadowed by) a genuine Docker
installation's own compose plugin on hosts that also run Unraid's
built-in Docker support.
Found by live-testing the Compose panel end-to-end against a real Unraid
install: it happened to work only because that particular host already
had Docker's own `docker-compose` plugin installed from an unrelated,
pre-existing Docker setup — a clean Unraid install has no compose
provider at all without this package. See
[docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, section 5.1](../../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md#51-zu-paketierende-komponenten).

# packages/podman-compose/
Pinned versions: see `PODMAN_COMPOSE_VERSION`/`PYYAML_VERSION`/
`PYTHON_DOTENV_VERSION` in [versions.env](../../versions.env).
`podman compose` (backing `webui/plugins/podman/ajax/compose.php`, the
WebUI's Compose panel) has no compose implementation of its own — it
needs an external "compose provider" command. This project previously
vendored `docker/compose` (the Go CLI-plugin binary) for that role;
this package replaces it with `podman-compose` instead.
The two aren't discovered the same way — verified live against a real
podman install (placing a fake executable and reading podman's own
provider-search error output): `docker-compose` is searched for by exact
path across a fixed list of CLI-plugin directories, while `podman-compose`
is looked up as a plain command on `$PATH`. That's why this package
installs to `/usr/local/bin/podman-compose` rather than under any
`cli-plugins/` directory.
Unlike `docker-compose`, `podman-compose` is a single Python script, not a
compiled binary. Unraid ships Python3 itself but neither of its two
runtime dependencies, so this package also vendors:
- `PyYAML` — only the pure-Python `yaml/` package, not the `_yaml` C
extension (which would need libyaml plus a compiler). `yaml/__init__.py`
falls back gracefully when the C accelerator isn't importable, so the
pure-Python source is sufficient for what podman-compose needs from it.
- `python-dotenv` — pure Python throughout, no C extensions at all.
Verified end-to-end on a real Unraid host: the vendored bundle correctly
runs `podman compose up`/`ps`/`down` against a real compose project
(with the pre-existing `docker-compose` binary temporarily moved aside
to confirm `podman-compose` was the one actually being invoked, not a
leftover), including a live HTTP check against the started service.
