Symlink to docker-compose

Provide package with script executing docker-compose similar to the one for podman.

Please, avoid command aliasing whenever it is possible! I want to know what I use exactly. When I ask docker-compose version I want to get docker-compose version. When I ask docker-compose --help I want to see docker-compose help and nothing else. apt-get list should list me what is actually installed when I will need an upgrade. I think that docker-compose support team will be surprised to get issues of podman-compose and wise-versa. It is better to add --docker option to run docker-compose with corresponding parameters. The situation when after podman-compose podman ps shows nothing is very confusing too. Is it broken podman-compose or compose-file?

In an ideal world, I would agree with you, @PavelSosin-320.

The reason for such scripts/symlinks is using it as a drop-in replacement, e.g. when using it in combination with other software/plugins which have docker executables/scripts hardcoded (e.g. VSCode plugins, ...). Probably I have to wait another 10 years before podman is ready to replace docker...
