Make Podman work without setting the executable name/path

vscode fails to detect podman on recent versions of Fedora (maybe similar with recent RHEL/CentOS).
It expects there to be a symlink named docker that points to podman.

On Fedora, a docker may be installed using the podman-docker package.
Probably earlier versions had a symlink, but on Fedora 32 this file is a script:

$ file docker
docker: a /usr/bin/sh script, ASCII text executable

To check for podman, vscode could check if there is a podman executable (for example by running podman version).

It would be nice if vscode doesn't require installing the podman-docker package. That means vscode should use podman as the executable name when invoking commands instead of docker when the system has podman.
