Issue Description

When I have several podman machines and I remove one of them using podman machine rm <name>, the socket is deleted, as part of the process. But, if I understand correctly, all the machines share the same socket, and so, this socket is not available anymore for other machines.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the issue

# a machine exists
$ podman machine list               
NAME                    VM TYPE     CREATED        LAST UP            CPUS        MEMORY      DISK SIZE
podman-machine-default  qemu        4 weeks ago    Currently running  6           16.76GiB    186GiB 

# and the socket exists
$ ls /Users/me/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman.sock
/Users/me/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman.sock

# I create a second machine
$ podman machine init podman-machine-2

# the socket still exists
$ ls /Users/me/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman.sock
/Users/me/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman.sock

# I remove a machine, the socket will be deleted
$ podman machine rm podman-machine-2

The following files will be deleted:

[...]
/Users/me/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman.sock

Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y

# the socket has been deleted
$ ls /Users/me/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman.sock
ls: /Users/me/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman.sock: No such file or directory

Describe the results you received

See above

Describe the results you expected

I would expect that the socket ie deleted only when the latest machine is deleted (or never deleted)
