Colin Walters d26341332c docs/podman-systemd: Try to clarify `Exec=` more
In podman-systemd we are intersecting the worlds of containers
and systemd, and I had to stop and think to understand what
`Exec=` does.

I tried to clarify things more here.

I found it especially confusing because the example at the
very top of the file does:

```
Image=quay.io/fedora/fedora
Exec=sleep 10
```

But that only makes sense because the fedora base image
(being generic) doesn't define an `ENTRYPOINT`, just a `CMD`.

But IMO by far the most common usage for podman-systemd
is "app images" which conventionally should use `ENTRYPOINT`
in general. Maybe we should change the default example,
but I'm leaving that for a later followup.

(It perhaps would have been less confusing if this field
 had been called `Args=` to make clear it's quite different
 in practice from systemd `ExecStart=`)
