A few additional rules are needed when pasta is started by Podman in
particular cases:

- with podman-build or Buildah, pasta needs to access the target
  namespace reference using a procfs namespace link entry, instead of
  the usual directory under /run or /var/run. For that, we have a
  rule enabling access to container_t:lnk_file.

  On some systems, though, the class is 'dir' instead of 'lnk_file'.
  I don't have a concrete way to reproduce this or a full explanation,
  but in any case, an additional rule for that is obviously harmless:
  allow pasta_t to open, read, and search a container_t:dir

- with custom networks, pasta needs to write PID files to a location
  indicated by Podman. If the PID file already exists, the existing
  permissions aren't sufficient: we also need a 'read' rule. Add that,
  for 'dir' and 'file' objects labeled as either container_var_run_t
  or ifconfig_var_run_t (this depends on the installed Podman and
  container-selinux versions)
