Description

**Describe the bug**
podman-compose does ignore the dockerfile setting

**To Reproduce**
```
mkdir foo && cd foo && echo -e 'services:\n something:\n build:\n dockerfile: foo.Dockerfile\n context: .' >compose.yml && echo -e 'FROM docker.io/alpine:latest\n\nRUN touch abc' >foo.Dockerfile && echo -e '\ntry\n' && podman-compose build || { echo -e '\ntry with renamed file but same compose config\n' && mv foo.Dockerfile Dockerfile && podman-compose build; }
```

**Expected behavior**
"try" should succeed
"try with renamed file but same compose config" should not be executed and if, then it should not succeed

**Actual behavior**
for "try"
> `Error: no Containerfile or Dockerfile specified or found in context directory, [redacted}\foo: The system cannot find the file specified.`

for "try with renamed file but same compose config" the output that should come for "try".

**Output**

```
$ podman-compose version
podman-compose version 1.6.0
podman version 6.0.2

$ mkdir foo && cd foo && echo -e 'services:\n something:\n build:\n dockerfile: foo.Dockerfile\n context: .' >compose.yml && echo -e 'FROM docker.io/alpine:latest\n\nRUN touch abc' >foo.Dockerfile && echo -e '\ntry\n' && podman-compose build || { echo -e '\ntry with renamed file but same compose config\n' && mv foo.Dockerfile Dockerfile && podman-compose build; }

try

Error: no Containerfile or Dockerfile specified or found in context directory, [redacted]\foo: The system cannot find the file specified.

try with renamed file but same compose config

STEP 1/2: FROM docker.io/alpine:latest
STEP 2/2: RUN touch abc

Research direction

Start by running the provided Windows/WSLv2 reproduction with podman-compose 1.6.0 and compare the build behavior for foo.Dockerfile versus Dockerfile. Trace the compose build handling for the dockerfile and context settings. Done means the configured foo.Dockerfile is used successfully, while renaming it to Dockerfile does not hide the configuration error.
