When the `Containerfile` `ADD` instruction runs against files from a git
repository, it's easily possible the permissions will be incorrect
inside the container. Because systemd configuration and units are
rather important, update the setup script to ensure they're always set
correctly.

For whatever reason the `docker`/`linux` tags do not appear in the list
of public runners. Update to values actually present, guessing at their
meaning.

When FIPS is available on the host system, we should download the FIPS
binary for `gitlab-runner` by default. Users who do not want the FIPS
binary for some reason can use the non-FIPS binary by setting the
`ENABLE_FIPS` build-arg to `false`.

the task limit on the `user-*.slice` units was 675, which can become a
problem in CI jobs that fork a lot, causing spurious CI failures.

For normal operations, the `runner` user's `.gitlab-runner` directory
has a symlink for (read-only) `config.toml` ->
`/var/run/secrets/config.toml`. However, for during registration
attempts to write to this volume-mounted file result in a
`PANIC: write: permission denied` error. Fix this by running the
registration as (namespaced) `root` user, and using the default config.

The README did not make it clear enough that a blank `config.toml` file
needs to be pre-created before runner registration. Otherwise the
`register` *runlabel* will silently fail to bind-mount the file into the
proper location inside the container.
While we're at it, also add a small example of why it may be a good idea
to edit the `config.toml` file before commiting it as a secret.

When running in the background without a full-blown init system,
`podman system service` will leak `conmon` processes for every
gitlab-runner job that executes via the docker socket API. These
`conmon` processes almost immediately becomes zombies, and are never
cleaned up. Eventually the zombies will consume all available PIDs.
Many attempts to fix this in various ways have all failed. In all cases
the GitLab Runner process will start behaving strangely (or fail
completely) after an amount of time dependent on its usage executing
jobs.
Fix this by entirely reimplementing *pipglr* to utilize systemd and a
pair of lingering user-slices. One for podman, another for the gitlab
runner. Include a systemd timer service to affect runner cleanup,
periodically. Also update documentation and examples accordingly.

Within a container, caps need to be set on /usr/bin/new{uid,gid}map
which reflect the (inner) podman user's root namespaced ID of 10000.

Recently, I believe an update or packaging problem has been causing
podman to throw errors like:
```
level=error msg="running `/usr/bin/newuidmap ...`: newuidmap: open of
uid_map failed: Permission denied\n"
```
This seems to have something to do with the shadow-utils package, which
owns this binary. I've examined the file attribuites and permissions
along with /etc/sub{uid,gid} contents. The only thing that seems to
resolve the issue is reinstalling shadow-utils. Attempt that fix here
and hope it clears up the problem (present in v2.0.0)
