Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

Description
After filing bug reports #4249, #4248, and #4247, and seeing all 3 resolved by the release of 1.6.2, we resumed trying to use podman volume create to create and mount NFS-backed volumes as originally announced in 1.6.1.

While re-creating an NFS-backed volume using 1.6.2, we're unable specify the volume driver name.

Documentation covering NFS volumes is non-existent, so we cannot tell if this is user error or broken code. As a part of resolving this issue, please consider adding NFS test cases to your build pipeline and expanding the Examples section of podman-volume-create.1.md with more examples, including NFS ones.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Create a volume backed by an NFS filesystem while trying to specify the volume driver name (guessing at the NFS invocation here... again, there are no NFS examples in the documentation to reference).
[root@testhost ~]# podman volume create --driver=local --opt type=nfs --opt o=addr=192.168.2.126,rw --opt device=:/exports/test/ podman_vol_create_test2
Error: error running volume create option: not yet implemented

Describe the results you received:
podman volume create does not allow us to specify a volume driver name during volume creation.

Describe the results you expected:
podman volume create allows us to specify a volume driver name during volume creation.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):

I'm working on volume driver support separately; I'd expect it to be a Podman 1.7 feature. For now, I recommend omitting it if you're just specifying local; that will be used as the default.

On hold until I can get attach working and unblock Brent. Optimistically still hoping for this in 1.8 but realistically could slip to 1.9

This implements support for mounting and unmounting volumes
backed by volume plugins. Support for actually retrieving
plugins requires a pull request to land in containers.conf and
then that to be vendored, and as such is not yet ready. Given
this, this code is only compile tested. However, the code for
everything past retrieving the plugin has been written - there is
support for creating, removing, mounting, and unmounting volumes,
which should allow full functionality once the c/common PR is
merged.

A major change is the signature of the MountPoint function for
volumes, which now, by necessity, returns an error. Named volumes
managed by a plugin do not have a mountpoint we control; instead,
it is managed entirely by the plugin. As such, we need to cache
the path in the DB, and calls to retrieve it now need to access
the DB (and may fail as such).

Notably absent is support for SELinux relabelling and chowning
these volumes. Given that we don't manage the mountpoint for
these volumes, I am extremely reluctant to try and modify it - we
could easily break the plugin trying to chown or relabel it.

the only correct way of inspecting volumes. Remove them all and
consolidate to using the correct way. Compat API is likely still
doing things the wrong way, but that is an issue for another day.

This implements support for mounting and unmounting volumes
backed by volume plugins. Support for actually retrieving
plugins requires a pull request to land in containers.conf and
then that to be vendored, and as such is not yet ready. Given
this, this code is only compile tested. However, the code for
everything past retrieving the plugin has been written - there is
support for creating, removing, mounting, and unmounting volumes,
which should allow full functionality once the c/common PR is
merged.

A major change is the signature of the MountPoint function for
volumes, which now, by necessity, returns an error. Named volumes
managed by a plugin do not have a mountpoint we control; instead,
it is managed entirely by the plugin. As such, we need to cache
the path in the DB, and calls to retrieve it now need to access
the DB (and may fail as such).

Notably absent is support for SELinux relabelling and chowning
these volumes. Given that we don't manage the mountpoint for
these volumes, I am extremely reluctant to try and modify it - we
could easily break the plugin trying to chown or relabel it.

Also, we had no less than *5* separate implementations of
inspecting a volume floating around in pkg/infra/abi and
pkg/api/handlers/libpod. And none of them used volume.Inspect(),
the only correct way of inspecting volumes. Remove them all and
consolidate to using the correct way. Compat API is likely still
doing things the wrong way, but that is an issue for another day.
