Description

I am looking into whether it is possible to use Podman as a replacement for Docker with Python on Whales, a Python wrapper for the Docker CLI.

Things look great so far, however, one issue I discovered is that Podman doesn't implement the buildx inspect sub-command. The output of this command is parsed by python_on_whales and the required fields in the the output are Name and Driver (see https://github.com/gabrieldemarmiesse/python-on-whales/blob/4d5b8b4c5c6dc3ac0af5713e4fe5a72788f44cda/python_on_whales/components/buildx/models.py#L12)

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Run podman buildx inspect

Describe the results you received:

$ podman buildx inspect

Error: unrecognized command `podman buildx inspect`
Try 'podman buildx --help' for more information.

Describe the results you expected:

This is the equivalent output from docker:

$ docker buildx inspect
Name:   default
Driver: docker

Status:    running
Platforms: linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/riscv64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/386, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm/v6
