- Closes#1005.
- Adapt everything to use MACAddress type from containerization 0.20.0.
- Allocate MAC addresses for every container so that we have
deterministic IPv6 link local addresses.
- Add AAAA handling to ContainerDNSHandler.
- NOTE: Only works on Tahoe. On Sequoia, we don't have a good way to set
or determine the IPv6 network prefix when networks are created, so we
can't infer the IPv6 link local addresses for AAAA responses and we
instead return `NODATA`.
- Corrects the MAC address example command in the
how-to guide to use the correct `--network` flag syntax
instead of the incorrect `--mac-address` flag.
- Part of work for #460.
- Enable set/get of IPv6 network prefix in ReservedVmnetNetwork.
- Show IPv6 prefix in `network list` full output.
- Option for setting IPv6 prefix when creating a network.
- System property for default IPv6 prefix.

Closes#824
This implements statistics gathering across the various components, but
ultimately this is for implementing a new CLI command: `container
stats`. This shows memory usage, cpu usage, network and block i/o and
the number of processes in the container. The new command can inspect
stats for 1-N containers and by default continuously updates in a `top`
like stream.

- Closes#752.
- Currently, there is no way to specify a custom MAC address for a
container's network interface and the MAC address is auto-generated by
the system.
- Use Cases
- **Network Testing**: Developers testing network-dependent applications
that need predictable MAC addresses
- **License Management**: Running containerized software with MAC-based
license keys
- **Network Automation**: Scripts and tools that expect specific MAC
addresses for configuration
- **Debugging**: Consistent MAC addresses across container restarts for
easier troubleshooting
Common subcommands for all defaults.
- Closes#384.
- Replaces `registry default` and `system dns default` subcommands with
`system property`.
- Users can use `system property ls` to see details about each supported
default value.
- `system property set` implements reasonable validation for all
properties.
- NOTE: Probing of the registry for `registry default set` was removed,
which means users will find out about a botched setting when pulling or
pushing.
- Updates docs.

See discussion below for example. For multiple network interfaces in a
single container we'll want to integrate against a containerization that
includes apple/containerization#156.
The change bumps the containerization dependency to 0.2.0 and addresses
the breaking API changes.

- Switched to use bookworm Python image as `curl` is not in slim.
- Use `pre` tags for console blocks. We lose syntax highlighting, but
get rid of the copy button.
- Fix `dockerfile` tag in tutorial.
- Fix GitHub typo in README.
