#63489: 'podman machine start' can't find /usr/libexec/podman/gvproxy

--------------------+--------------------
 I found https://podman.io/blogs/2021/09/06/podman-on-macs.html, which
 explains how to use Podman on a Mac. The article explains how to install
 `podman` via Homebrew, but of course I wanted to use MacPorts instead.

 First I ran `sudo port install podman`, which indeed gave me version
 3.3.1, just like in the article.

 Then when I ran `podman machine init`, I got an error message saying that
 a qemu binary could not be found. I am not sure if `qemu` should be a
 dependency of `podman` or if it makes sense to not install that by
 default, but I installed it by running `sudo port instal qemu`. Afterwards
 running `podman machine init` succeeded.

 The next step is running `podman machine start`, but that gives me this
 error:

 {{{
 ❯ podman machine start
 Error: unable to start host networking: "stat /usr/libexec/podman/gvproxy:
 no such file or directory"
 }}}

 The `/usr/libexec` prefix struck me as problematic, since all of the
 `podman` files are under my MacPorts prefix of `/opt/local`, but `port
 contents podman` doesn't list a binary called `gvproxy` at all and I
 wouldn't know what to install to get it, so this is where I got stuck.
