Notes for Reviewers

This PR fixes #275

Signed commits

• Yes, I signed my commits.

Description

As discussed with @leecalcote, to reduce the fragility of the learning material and ensure long-term durability, this PR updates the Installing Podman lab exercise (e5.md) in the Introduction to Containers and Kubernetes learning path.

Instead of including specific, brittle third-party static download links (which had typos resulting in 404 Not Found and shell syntax errors), Podman installation is now framed as an external prerequisite linking directly to the official Podman project and Podman documentation. All subsequent hands-on verification and exercises remain completely intact.

Changes Made

• Removed fragile static binary download commands, podmanlinux 404 URL, and stray > shell syntax artifact in content/learning-paths/d011fd20-a3f5-4480-883b-dfb34321d168/cloud-container-and-infrastructure/introduction-to-containers-and-kubernetes/lab/e5.md.
• Added a clean prerequisite note pointing to the official Podman website and Podman documentation for installation instructions.
• Maintained seamless flow directly into hands-on lab exercises (verification, exploration, container run, image build).
