Add "monitor container" as op-mode command
Open, NormalPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

Summary

With podman there is the command sudo podman stats that shows currently running containers and their statistics.

Would be handy if op-mode something like monitor container could be added to the CLI of VyOS?

Workaround is of course to manually run `sudo podman stats' but most monitor op-mode commands can be runned in vbash/bash anyway.

Use case

Having realtime information collected/aggregated within "monitor xxx" syntax makes it handy to easier get access to various realtime information without having to learn the bash syntax of the actual command being runned.

For example monitor traffic interface eth0 is easier to use and remember than to learn whatever tcpdump syntax that equals to.
