dev.containers.dockerPath should be a workspace setting

[d4nuu8]

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.

Agree, rootless podman definitely reduces the attack surface, which means better security, but docker rootful is required for some cases.

And also, if this feature-request is accepted, I think how to avoid the image or features modify these settings should be considered.
