Description

This is linked to #8393.

The new dev.containers.dockerPath setting cannot be configured on a per-remote basis and can only be configured at the application scope (i.e. "This setting has an application scope and can be set only in the user settings file").

As the linked issue states, it's common to use different container stacks on the local machine and different remote machines.

The old setting remote.containers.dockerPath used to enable a workaround in using Podman on a remote Fedora machine (see https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/15001#issuecomment-1193321924).
