Debugging SAM app crashes when using using Podman

## Problem

Unable to debug an AWS SAM app using the toolkit with Podman installed. Podman works fine via SAM CLI `sam local invoke`.

## Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install Podman Desktop 1.23.1
2. Make sure Docker Compatibility is enabled and Podman is listening on Docker socket
3. Setup Node Hello World project using the SAM CLI
4. Open VS Code, setup launch.json using the VS Toolkit extension helper in the template.yaml
5. Run Debugging

## Expected behavior
SAM debugging to run without issue just like it does with Docker

## System details (run `AWS: About` and/or `Amazon Q: About`)

Thank you for taking a look.

Reproduce the Node Hello World project using the referenced template.yaml, launch.json, Podman Desktop setup, and sam local invoke command. Compare the successful CLI path with VS Code debugging and inspect the logs around the Runtime.ImportModuleError. Done means SAM debugging completes successfully with Podman, matching Docker behavior without the module-loading failure.
