How to test this PR locally

Run any container with podman and use the docker plugin pointing to the podman socket like : hosts: ["unix:///run/user/1001/podman/podman.sock"]. There will be an error when using podman:

"log.origin":{"function":"github.com/elastic/beats/v7/metricbeat/mb/module.(*metricSetWrapper).fetch","file.name":"module/wrapper.go","file.line":256},"message":"Error fetching data for metricset docker.memory:>

Use a label on the container: co.elastic.metricbeat.docker.forceContainerStatsStream=true ... and the memory stats are read successfully.

Related issues

I did not see any issues but there are a few posts stackoverflow, etc. which do point out to this "issue"

Use cases

This allows the user to flag their podman container and see the memory usage.

@ahbonsu , I set the enhancement for you For the backport because it is considered an enhancement usually we dont backport it. But in any case we will reconsider it internally.

Additionally while we are investigating the docker.memory: No memory stats data available", can you please also update the description of this PR with any screenshot or evidence for correct functionality of this PR?
