[BUG] Podman preset is broken with crc 2.4.1 and crc 2.5.0 releases

[cfergeau]

If one decides to use the podman bundle on linux for some reason (it's not needed as podman can be used natively on linux):

$ crc config set preset podman
$ crc start

This is because https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/download/v4.0.2/podman-remote-static.tar.gz is broken and crashes this way. https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/download/v4.1.0/podman-remote-static.tar.gz is also not good as this is a Windows binary. https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/download/v4.1.1/podman-remote-static.tar.gz seems better.

@cfergeau perhaps report this upstream. they might have to add a note to their release.

[cfergeau]

They are aware of it.
