containers: prune dangling images

Previously, upgrading Podman containers with the same tag left
behind dangling images, causing overlay storage to grow and fill
disk space.

This change ensures dangling images are cleaned up using
podman image prune. The command is run without -a, so only
unreferenced images are removed. This provides safe cleanup while
preventing unnecessary overlay growth.

Fixes #1098
