fix(podman): skip Portainer where Podman has no Quadlet

Portainer and the agent are written as Quadlet .container units, which
need Podman 4.4. Debian 12 ships 4.3.1, so systemctl start portainer
failed with "Unit portainer.service not found". Without Quadlet both
prompts are skipped with a warning.
