Description
It would be great to be able to set the setting dev.containers.dockerPath as a workspace setting.
If one mixes docker and e.g. podman devcontainers (which is the case for me) the settings needs to be changed manually every time one is switching to a repository which is using another container engine.

Research direction
Start by locating the dev.containers.dockerPath setting and its configuration schema, then trace how its value is resolved when opening different repositories. Done means the setting can be assigned per workspace and switching between repositories using Docker or Podman no longer requires manual changes.
