As part of the Podman 6 release, we need to remove support for CNI (Container Network Interface) plugins. CNI has been deprecated in favor of Netavark, which provides better integration and functionality for container networking.
This story involves:
- Removing CNI plugin code and dependencies from podman and c/common components
- Updating documentation to reflect the removal
- Ensuring migration path for users still using CNI plugins to Netavark
- Updating tests to remove CNI-related test cases
